Mallorca vs Real Madrid: Prediction and Betting Odds 3.40
Real Madrid starts the new season away against Mallorca. Last season, the "creamy" team took tournament points from the "cinnabar" team with some difficulty. How well are the opponents prepared for the new championship? Our experts have assessed the teams' chances and prepared the best bets for the game. Our star experts Igor Semshov and Ivan Korneichuk shared their opinions on the upcoming duel
Command Analysis
Mallorca
SpainCurrent form
Mallorca enter the new season hoping to improve on their 15th place finish last year. The main news is a new head coach – the well-known Jagoba Arrasate has arrived from Osasuna and the results of pre-season training can be called positive, if you do not count the fight during the 1-0 win over West Bromwich after Samu Costa fouled Jason Molumby. This once again confirms that the https://www.rcdmallorca.es/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pirates need to watch their discipline, which is confirmed by more than 100 yellow cards last season. In addition, it is worth worrying about the entertainment, since five of the last six home matches ended with one goal scored.
Disqualifications and injuries
Llabres will not be able to take part in the fight (muscle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Five of Mallorca's last six home matches have ended 1-0
The hosts have won three games and suffered two defeats, but today the opponent will not stop after the first goal, which could break this unpleasant series for fans of scoring goals.
- Sergi Darder scored in two of Mallorca's last three games last season, with both goals coming after 60 minutes to help his side salvage a draw.
The team has enough experienced players, but they are unlikely to reach the level of the champion, who in any combination will be a cut above
- The Pirates received more than 100 cards last season.
We believe that the difference in class will be compensated by the hosts solely through the tactics of minor fouls, which will ultimately open the scoring for the "mustards" in this tournament.
Probable line-up : Roman - Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Morey - Asano, Darder, Samu, Morlanes, Larin - Prats.
Real Madrid
SpainCurrent form
Real Madrid arrive in Mallorca with the trophy ready to hand after beating Atalanta 2-0 to lift the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday. They also now have Kylian Mbappe, who opened the scoring in midweek, and Hendrick. The 36-time La Liga winners have strengthened their position further this summer, which looks ominous for the rest of the Spanish top flight. The reigning Spanish and European champions are unbeaten in competitive matches since mid-January, but they were beaten 1-0 on this ground in February 2023. That will ensure Carlo Ancelotti’s side are not overconfident and will be looking to play as carefully as possible.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alaba (knee injury) and Camavinga (knee injury) are out of the game.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Madrid have started their La Liga campaign away for the sixth season in a row
For Carlo Ancelotti and his team, it makes no difference where they win, as they proved last year and will try to repeat this brilliant result in the new championship.
- Real Madrid have not lost a La Liga opening match since the 2008/09 season
The team proved its class in the match against Atalanta, which brought the first title of the season, and it is unlikely that today this long-term series of successful starting matches will be interrupted in a duel with the modest by all standards “pirates”.
- Jude Bellingham scored 19 goals and made six assists last season
The England midfielder has already distinguished himself in the European Super Cup final and it is clear that the player is in excellent mental and physical shape, which will allow him to build on his success this year.
Probable line-up : Courtois - Mendy, Rudiger, Militao, Carvajal - Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo - Mbappe, Vinicius.
Trends
Bet Exact score 1:3
Two of the last five head-to-head matches ended with this score
9.55Bet Goals in both halves - yes
In the last two matches, the guests scored goals in two halves
1.89Bet Corners: total over 9.5
In Mallorca's last two matches, this scenario was realized
2.15Penalty bet (yes)
In three of the last nine matches of the visitors, such a bet was successful
2.75Tip and bets
We believe that any other outcome than a confident victory for the champion will be a complete failure for the capital club. All the players of the "whites" are in excellent shape, and after the victory over "Atalanta" in excellent moral shape, which will only add strength and energy to the whole team. Moreover, Real has a huge advantage in class and motivation. We do not rule out a rout of the islanders, but we are still inclined to a confident victory for Madrid with a comfortable score.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Real Madrid for 1.77
Bet on total
Mallorca's statistics look very dismal, as one goal in 90 minutes is unlikely to please fans of productive football. We believe that not only Bellingham, but also Mbappe will try to take control of the scorers' race from the first rounds. In addition, we believe that even a difference of one or two goals will not stop the opponents, which will ultimately bring an abundance of goals scored.
Betting Tip - total over 3.5 goals and we bet on it for 3.40
Bet on corners
Most likely, the abundance of attacks and the desire to get to the goal will bring a lot of set pieces. In addition, we believe that breakthroughs through the flanks will lead to a large number of corner kicks.
Betting Tip - total corners over nine. This option can be found for 1.94
