The Matchday 3 La Liga clash between Real Madrid and Mallorca will take place on August 30 at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid vs. Mallorca: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Madrid
The capital club is currently flawless. In the first round, Madrid narrowly defeated Osasuna (1-0) at home, and in their next match, they secured a comprehensive victory over Oviedo (3-0) at home. As a result, the team's winning streak in the league has extended to five matches. Additionally, it's worth noting that only Real Madrid and Villarreal have yet to concede a goal.
- Madrid have won 9 of their last 10 La Liga encounters.
- The club has kept a clean sheet in 7 of their last 10 league games.
- Real Madrid has won five consecutive home games in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-4-2)
Thibaut Courtois – Alvaro Carreras, Din Heisen, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal – Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Arda Guler, Franco Mastantuono – Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo Goes.
Forward Endrick Felipe, defender Ferland Mendy, and midfielders Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham are out due to injuries.
Mallorca
Jagoba Arrasate's side has been unable to secure a victory in La Liga for five matches (2 draws and 3 losses). The winless streak has grown due to an unsuccessful start to the new championship, although the opponents were challenging. Initially, the islanders were defeated by Barcelona (0-3) at home, and then they drew with Celta (1-1) at home.
- In their last 9 La Liga matches, Mallorca has only won once (3 draws and 5 losses).
- A maximum of 3 goals have been scored in the club's last 16 league games.
- The islanders have failed to win in 9 of their last 10 away La Liga matches (3 draws and 6 losses).
Predicted lineup for Mallorca (4-4-2)
Leo Roman – Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Mateu Morey, Joan Mojica – Sergi Darder, Antonio Sanchez, Omar Mascarell, Pablo Torre – Takuma Asano, Mateo Joseph.
Midfielder Samu Costa and defender Pablo Maffeo are out due to injuries.

Match Prediction: Real Madrid vs. Mallorca
Madrid is in excellent form, having won 9 of their last 10 La Liga matches, losing only to Barcelona away. In this series of games, the team conceded in only three matches. The defense has been strengthened this summer, and Xabi Alonso now has the option to rotate defensive players.
Moreover, the capital club rarely drops points at the Santiago Bernabeu in La Liga. Additionally, in the last 4 league matches, Real Madrid has not only won but also kept clean sheets. Mallorca is in poor condition and has won only once away in La Liga this calendar year. Furthermore, in their last 4 away games, the islanders have scored only one goal. I believe the hosts will win their 10th consecutive home match in head-to-head La Liga encounters without conceding.
My prediction: Real Madrid to win to nil
