Mallorca vs Real Madrid La Liga predictions and stats: Los Blancos begin title defence
Defending champions Real Madrid travel to face Mallorca on the opening day as they start their campaign for a record-extending 37th La Liga title.
After securing their sixth UEFA Super Cup trophy, Real Madrid’s attention now turns to the 2024/25 La Liga campaign and back-to-back title wins; something they haven’t achieved since 2007/08. Can Mallorca provide a huge upset on home soil?
Three predictions for Mallorca vs Real Madrid
Mallorca 0-2 Real Madrid (6/1 with Midnite)
Real Madrid have not lost any of their last 32 games in LaLiga (W24 D8), their best unbeaten run in their entire history in the competition, surpassing the previous one achieved between May 1988 and April 1989 with Leo Beenhakker as coach (G30 W21 D9).
They’ve won their last two games against Mallorca without conceding.
Kylian Mbappe To Score 2+ Goals (11/2 with Midnite)
Kylian Mbappe opened his account for Real Madrid in the UEFA Supercup victory over Atalanta and will be looking to mark his La Liga debut for Los Blancos with a goal as well. No player scored more goals across all club competitions in 2023/24 than the Frenchman (44).
Real Madrid To Win Both Halves (3/1 with Midnite)
Carlo Ancelotti has won five of his six meetings with Mallorca in La Liga, only losing in one of his three visits to Mallorca in the competition (1-0 in February 2023). Los Blancos has kept a clean sheet in each of their last three matches in all competitions.

How both teams go into Mallorca vs Real Madrid
After extending their records as the most successful side in La Liga and Champions League history by doing the double last season, Los Blancos have added even more firepower to their squad for 2024/25 as they look to make even more history.
After months and even years of speculation, Kylian Mbappe has finally arrived at the Bernabéu and is joined in attack by Brazilian wonderkid Endrick as Carlo Ancelotti looks to become the first manager in Real Madrid’s history to win the treble. First, if they are going to become legends, they must win back-to-back league titles for the first time since the 2007/08 campaign, starting with a positive result away at Mallorca in their opening game.
It’s a fixture that they typically enjoy, but two defeats from their last four trips to the Mallorca Son Moix Stadium means they will be wary of slipping up. Especially with the fact that Mallorca have not lost their first game of the season in La Liga in any of their last eight campaigns (W4 D4).
Mallorca finished 15th in 2023/24 with 40 points and new manager Jagoba Arrasate will be looking to help push his new side up the table, starting with a positive result against the European champions.
Mallorca host Real Madrid at the Mallorca Son Moix Stadium on Sunday 18th August at 8:30pm (UK time).
Mallorca team news
Mallorca have seen last season’s number one Predrag Rajkovic join Al-Ittihad this summer so Dominik Greif should start in goal against the European Champions this weekend. New signings Johan Mojica, Takuma Asano and Mateu Morey will all be hoping for a place in the starting XI, while Vedat Muriqi will aim to build on the seven league goals he scored last season.
Real Madrid team news
Real Madrid shouldn’t make too many changes from the side that beat Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup, so Kylian Mbappe should make his full La Liga debut alongside Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo up top. Eduardo Camavinga and David Alaba are both long-term absentees, while Jude Bellingham should play a little bit further back this campaign in a midfield trio with Fede Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni.
Mallorca vs Real Madrid head-to-head
Real Madrid have lost on two of their last four visits to Mallorca in La Liga (W2), after having lost in just one of their previous 12 away games against the Balearics in the competition (W8 D3).
