Mallorca require a positive result, as Atletico Madrid go to Estadi de Son Moix

A loss to Getafe away, and then Espanyol at away is not good enough to retain a credible run of form in the LaLiga. Mallorca will see this as an opportunity to get their season back on track.

Also, when you suffer 11 defeats in the last 13 games, it should come as no surprise that your team is very much struggling at the bottom of the League. But that is the situation that Mallorca find themselves in.

Atletico Madrid have so far accrued 57 points in this season of the LaLiga

With two wins in a row under his belt, Diego Simeone takes his Atleti team into this game full of confidence, and hopeful of another successive victory.

Also, Atleti keep finding the winning formula this season, that’s six in a row now, which has contributed significantly to their rise up the table. With a third position in the league and 17 wins, 7 losses and 6 draws, they currently have 57 points in the League having won 17 games, drawn six matches, and lost seven meetings.

Atleti’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Mallorca. In the 15 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won seven fixtures, drawn three meetings, and lost five games.

A win in this fixture, would take Atletico Madrid’s points from 57 to 60, so far this season.
