Mallorca vs Real Madrid Predictions

Can Mallorca Hold Off Real Madrid’s New-Look Attack?
  • Real Madrid won both La Liga meetings against Mallorca last season without conceding a goal.
  • Mallorca scored just 33 goals in 38 La Liga matches last season, averaging less than one goal per game.
  • Real Madrid kept 21 clean sheets in La Liga during the 2023-24 campaign, the most in the league.

Best Bet

Bookmaker
Liverpool to Win @ 10/11
Reasoning
Backing Liverpool to win is a solid prediction. Their strong European pedigree, Mohamed Salah’s form, and defensive resilience give them an edge over AC Milan, who’ve struggled with inconsistency and defensive vulnerabilities this season.

The recommendation for this match is to back Real Madrid to secure victory while also expecting both teams to find the net. Despite Real Madrid’s strong defensive record last season, conceding only 26 goals, the scenario suggests Mallorca could breach their defence. Real Madrid’s pre-season form, including their UEFA Super Cup win, indicates they are still adjusting to new attacking combinations, particularly with Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham being integrated into the squad.

Mallorca, although underdogs, have shown resilience, especially at home, and are likely to create opportunities, particularly through their key striker Vedat Muriqi. Real Madrid’s high defensive line, combined with their offensive focus, may leave spaces for Mallorca to exploit, increasing the chances of the hosts getting on the scoresheet. However, Los Blancos’ overall quality, especially in attack, should see them outscore their opponents. The formidable trio of Vinícius Junior, Mbappé, and Rodrygo, supported by Bellingham’s creativity, makes it difficult to imagine Real Madrid not finding the back of the net multiple times, securing a win despite conceding.

Correct Score Prediction

Bookmaker
Liverpool 3-1 @ 23/2
Reasoning
A 3-1 Liverpool win seems likely. Liverpool's potent attack, led by Salah and Gakpo, should overwhelm Milan’s shaky defence, while Milan could still grab a goal through Leão or Pulisic.

The prediction of a 3-1 victory for Real Madrid aligns with the best bet, considering the anticipated dynamics of the match. Mallorca, while likely to score due to Real Madrid’s expansive play, are expected to be outclassed by the visitors’ superior firepower. Real Madrid’s attack, which scored 87 goals in La Liga last season, is expected to be too much for Mallorca’s defence, particularly given the absence of their former goalkeeper Predrag Rajković. A 3-1 scoreline reflects Real Madrid’s dominance while acknowledging Mallorca’s potential to exploit any defensive lapses from the visitors.

Goalscorer Prediction

Bookmaker
Mohamed Salah to Score Anytime @ 11/8
Reasoning
Mohamed Salah is a strong pick to score, given his impressive form and history against AC Milan. His movement and finishing ability, combined with Liverpool's attacking dominance, make him a constant threat.

An additional bet to consider is backing Kylian Mbappé to score at any point during the match. Having marked his Real Madrid debut with a goal in the UEFA Super Cup, Mbappé is in excellent form and will be eager to impress in his first La Liga appearance for the club. With Mallorca likely to focus on containing Vinícius Junior and Rodrygo, Mbappé could find himself with more space to operate, making him a prime candidate to add to his goal tally.
