Match preview

Mallorca’s La Liga season has been difficult, with only one point from four matches. They lost 0-3 at home to Barcelona, where two players were sent off, but managed a 1-1 draw against Celta. In round three, they lost narrowly to Real Madrid, 1-2.

In the fourth round, Mallorca faced Espanyol and lost 2-3 in a dramatic game. After going down 0-2 early on, Vedat Muriqi scored from a penalty. With Espanyol reduced to ten men before halftime, Mallorca controlled 70% possession in the second half. Muriqi scored twice to equalize, but Espanyol won a late penalty to secure the win.

Mallorca shows determination in every match, always fighting for results and playing to their strengths.

Atletico Madrid’s start has been uneven. They lost their first match 1-2 to Espanyol, followed by two draws: a 1-1 result at home to Elche and a scoreless draw with Alaves. They finally achieved their first win against Villarreal, winning 2-0 in round four. Additionally, they lost 2-3 to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, conceding the final goal in stoppage time.

A key issue for Atletico has been their struggle to create clear chances, alongside defensive weaknesses. They have been easy to score against and have faced challenges up front, resulting in less-than-expected performances.

Probable lineups

Mallorca: Roman, Bausa, Valjent, Raillo, Mojica, Samu Costa, Morlanes, Joseph, Darder, Torre, Muriqi

Atletico: Oblak, Llorente, Le Normand, Lenglet, Ruggeri, Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Gonzalez, Sorloth, Alvarez

Match facts and head-to-head

• Atletico has won the last five matches, scoring 8 goals to Mallorca’s 1
• Atletico has conceded goals in four of their five matches this season
• Mallorca is still looking for their first win of the 2025/26 season

Prediction

Given Atletico’s strong head-to-head record and the quality of their squad, it seems unlikely that Mallorca will withstand their attacks. My prediction: Atletico to win at 1.75.
