Match Stats

Real Madrid:

Real Madrid, despite grappling with several injuries, sets its sights on securing a 36th La Liga title with an impressive record of 14 wins, three draws, and only one loss in the current season's 18 league matches. The team's success, coupled with a flawless performance in the Champions League group stage, led to Carlo Ancelotti's contract extension until June 2026. The recent victory against Alaves showcased the team's resilience, overcoming Nacho's red card to secure three points with Lucas Vazquez's stoppage-time header, extending their unbeaten run to 17 matches across all competitions.

Mallorca:

Mallorca, on the other hand, concluded 2023 with a six-game unbeaten run (three wins, three draws). Javier Aguirre's team showed resilience with draws against Cadiz and Alaves, a convincing Copa del Rey win against Valle Agues, and a notable league victory over Sevilla. The team's recent performances have created a five-point buffer from the relegation zone, enhancing their prospects for a successful fourth consecutive season in La Liga. Despite having fond memories of a home win over Real Madrid in February, Mallorca faces a challenging task, given their history of seven consecutive away defeats against Los Blancos since May 2009.

Analysis:

Real Madrid continues to contend with injuries, with Thibaut Courtois, David Alaba, Eder Militao, and Ferland Mendy still unavailable. Eduardo Camavinga is poised to make a return to the squad after a period of absence. While Dani Carvajal and Vinicius Junior are set to rejoin the squad after recovering from injuries, the latter may be eased back cautiously, possibly starting on the bench. Arda Guler, who has faced injury setbacks in his debut Real Madrid season, might have the opportunity to feature as a substitute, aiming for his long-awaited debut.Due to Nacho's one-match ban, coach Ancelotti is likely to deploy Aurelien Tchouameni as a makeshift centre-back alongside Antonio Rudiger. On the Mallorca side, the absence of defender Martin Valjent and forward Vedat Muriqi continues. Jaume Costa's one-match suspension creates an opening for Toni Lato, returning from injury, to potentially step into the side. Former Real Madrid player Omar Mascarell, who missed the previous match due to injury, could make a timely return to bolster the Mallorca midfield.
