Find out how both teams are performing, their strategies, and the keys to this exciting matchup.
Real Madrid, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, arrives in excellent form after a series of positive results across all competitions. In their most recent game, they dominated Deportiva Minera 5-0 in the Copa del Rey, showcasing total control and a standout offensive performance. In LaLiga, they secured a 2-1 victory over Valencia, solidifying their position at the top of the table with solid play in both defense and attack.
Additionally, they earned a crucial 4-2 win against Sevilla, underlining their ability to react against tough opponents. Their performance in the FIFA Intercontinental Cup, where they defeated Pachuca 3-0, further cements their status as favorites in this tournament. 'Los Blancos' have shown remarkable consistency but will need to maintain this level against a Mallorca team aiming for a surprise result.
Mallorca, led by Jagoba Arrasate, has experienced inconsistent results in recent weeks. Their 0-3 defeat to Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey highlighted defensive issues that must be addressed to face a powerhouse like Real Madrid. However, in LaLiga, the Balearic side secured an important 1-0 victory over Getafe, with a late goal sealing three crucial points.
Mallorca also defeated Girona 2-1, demonstrating their ability to compete against strong teams. However, earlier losses to Celta (0-2) and Barcelona (1-5) reveal areas for improvement in maintaining consistency. Facing Real Madrid presents a significant challenge, but the team believes they have what it takes to surprise in this tournament.
