Atletico Madrid vs Real Mallorca Prediction
Atletico Madrid secured a top eight spot and automatic qualification for the knockouts of the UEFA Champions League in midweek with a 4-1 hammering of Austrian Bundesliga side Red Bull Salzburg in midweek. They have fallen off the pace set by Real Madrid in La Liga due to collecting just one point from their last two matches against Villarreal and Leganes. They now face a Real Mallorca side that have been very impressive so far this season and remain inside the top six ahead of this weekend’s round of fixtures but the Balearic Islanders do come into this one on the back of back-to-back defeats and the likelihood is they suffer a third successive loss in the Spanish capital this weekend.
