Real Mallorca vs Real Madrid

On Monday night, Mallorca host Real Madrid in a game that could be vital to the home team’s survival hopes and the visitor’s chances of clinching the Spanish league title.

The Islanders could not be going into this big clash in worse form, as Luis Garcia’s team has now lost their last four matches in La Liga. Last time out, they suffered a 4-3 at Celta Vigo in a thrilling encounter.

The recent poor run of results has seen Mallorca slip to 16th place in the league table, just two points clear of the relegation zone.

Mallorca’s recent home results in La Liga have been mixed, as they have won two and lost three of their last five outings on home soil in the Spanish top-flight.

Los Blancos are eight points clear at the top of La Liga after a strong recent run of form in the Spanish top-flight. Carlo Ancelotti’s team is unbeaten in their last seven games in the league, having recorded five wins and two draws. A 4-1 home win over Real Sociedad in their last match in La Liga means the visitors have recorded three straight wins in the Spanish top-flight.

The men from Madrid’s recent away record is slightly inconsistent in the Spanish top-flight. However, they have still managed to win six of their last eight league games on their travels. Their recent away matches in La Liga have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their previous five games.
