Real Madrid vs Mallorca Predictions

• Real Madrid have won their first two games of the season without conceding
• Mallorca have scored just one goal and taken only one point in their opening two matches
• Madrid have won three of the last five head-to-heads to nil

Madrid can maintain perfect record

Xabi Alonso made a solid start to his Real Madrid tenure by reaching the semi-finals of the Club World Cup over the summer and his side have carried that momentum into the new La Liga campaign. 

Many Los Blancos fans were hoping Alonso’s fast-paced style which led Bayer Leverkusen to the Bundesliga title in 2024 would result in plenty of excitement as they look to regain their crown from Barcelona, but it is actually at the other end where Madrid have caught the eye most. 

Madrid are yet to concede a goal in La Liga, shutting out Osasuna and Real Oviedo while winning 1-0 and 3-0. Impressively, they stopped the former from even getting a shot on target, suggesting another clean sheet is on the cards when they host mid-table Mallorca on Saturday.

Los Blancos backline to stand firm again

Madrid have now won four straight La Liga games without conceding and it is hard to see Mallorca, who have scored just once and amassed only 0.84 expected goals in their two matches, snapping that streak. 

Three of the last five head-to-heads have seen Los Blancos win while keeping a clean sheet and, with the Pirates getting just one effort on target in their opening home defeat to Barcelona, it is extremely likely they will repeat the trick on Saturday.
