Mallorca v Real Madrid predictions and preview: Betting stats

Mallorca are 8^th in La Liga on 11 points from their opening 8 games (W3 D2 L3). They have lost their last three league games but at home they have only been defeated once, in their most recent game against Granada. Their games have averaged 2.38 goals with 3 over 2.5 goals and 5 under.

Real Madrid are 4^th in the league just 3 points ahead of their opponents (W4 D2 L2). They are unbeaten in their last four games with form of LWWDW but away from home they haven’t been too dominant with just one win and one draw from their opening four games. Their matches average 2.88 goals with half exceeding 2.5 goals.

Team News and Run of Play

Mallorca have a few injuries in their squad, with Joao Victor, Antonio Lopez, Nunes, Marquez and Gimenez all missing. Real have no fit senior left backs with Marcelo out long term and Coentrao and Arbeloa both back next week. Khedira is a worry after pulling up injured against Dortmund midweek.

Mallorca losing their last three doesn’t bode well for this fixture. Last week however they put up a real fight away against Sevilla, being ahead in the game until eventually going down 3-2. Their defence is being broken down more easily of late however, with 5 goals conceded in their last 2 games, having only conceded 4 in their previous 6.

Real Madrid, as most people know, started the season poorly but have picked up points here and there and more recently have been winning consistently. A solid 2-0 win at home to Celta Vigo last weekend was followed up with a defeat at Dortmund on Wednesday, continuing an awful run away in Germany. For me their league form will only improve.

Mallorca, despite their decent home record, will be fearing a Real backlash in this game as I imagine Jose Mourinho would not have been impressed with their CL result.

Mallorca v Real Madrid predictions: 1X2 betting preview

I think it seems likely that we will see an away win here. Mallorca are well known for their good home form but Real have almost overcome this threat in recent years and as previously mentioned they have started to put together runs of good results and that should continue here so a Real Madrid win at 1.40 with Paddy Power is the bet.

If you can see Real going 5 games unbeaten, bet here.

What Real do well is score goals. They have at times struggled away from home to get the goals in however. I think Mallorca’s home defence looks good, just 3 conceded in 4 games but they have lately begun conceding a few more goals. Real Madrid (-1.5) is 2.09 with 188bet and I think this should come in, just a 2 goal victory for Real is required.

Real should score a couple of goals but I’m not too sure about how Mallorca will go about scoring, despite Real Madrid’s defensive injuries. Mallorca’s home games have averaged 2.25 goals and Real’s away games have averaged 2.5 so I’m going against the bookies here because I can see a 2-0 Real win. I’ll be backing under 2.5 goals at 2.63 with BetVictor.
