Atletico Madrid – Mallorca Preview

Atletico Madrid hosts Mallorca at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in a match from the 22nd round of La Liga. Let’s see what we can tell you in our best soccer predictions today. Here we go!

Atletico Madrid are fighting to win the La Liga title this season. Right now Los Colchoneros are four points behind the leader Real Madrid. It means that Diego Simeone’s team has to win this at any cost. They don’t have a room for mistake here.

Speaking of mistakes, Atleti did one against Villarreal in the previous round. They hosted the Yellow Submarine at home, but only got a point after a 1-1 draw in the capital. Samuel Lino scored for Atletico, but two points were lost.

What could Simeone change against Mallorca in the next round? Antoine Griezmann started from the bench against Villarreal, so the French veteran could be back in the line-up. An obvious choice is Alexander Sørloth as well – the Norwegian striker could be a perfect option for the top of the attack.

Mallorca are enjoying a surprisingly good season so far. Los Piratas are 6th in the standings which could even allow them to qualify for Europe. The manager Arrasate deserves huge respect for what he’s doing with the team so far!

Mallorca’s current form is not good, though – they lost four times in their last four matches. Last week Arrasate’s boys faced Real Betis at home, but conceded a 0-1 defeat. It was a dramatic affair as Betis scored their winner in the 96th minute of the match.

One of the reasons for the defeat is the red card that Omar Mascarell received in the 73rd minute of the match. The midfielder won’t be available for the trip to Madrid.

That’s the best soccer predictions today for the La Liga clash between Atletico Madrid and Mallorca. Good luck!
