Mallorca vs. Real Madrid – Prediction H2H (19.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Mallorca have not won any of their last eight LaLiga games against Real Madrid (D1 L7), losing each of the last five. Their last win against the Blancos was in May 2009 (3-1 away from home). Real Madrid are unbeaten after the first eight games of a LaLiga season for the fourth time in the 21st century, also doing so in 2010/11, 2015/16 and 2016/17. Mallorca won their last LaLiga match, after having gone six without a win beforehand (D1 L5). They are looking to record consecutive wins in the competition for the first time this season.

The opening goal has been the critical factor in Mallorca’s La Liga (LL) games this season, with the team that scored the opener going on to win seven of their eight fixtures – the one anomaly being a goalless draw (W2, D1 L5). As such, both teams have scored in just 25% of their LL fixtures this term. Only Alaves (16) have had fewer shots on target than Mallorca (18) in LaLiga this season. Indeed, they’ve had 34 shots on target fewer than Real Madrid (52), who are the team with the most in the competition this term. With the top-flight newcomers scoring an average of just 0.8 goals per LL home game so far, this looks like a tough match against a Real Madrid outfit that’s netted at least four goals in each of the last three H2Hs, and last lost here in a league encounter back in 2006.

In fact, Madrid travel here as the only remaining unbeaten side in the league (W5, D3), with four of their five victories seeing them lead at half-time. However on the road, three of their four LL away games have been level at the break (HT: W1, D3), with Madrid pushing on into the final stages of matches, as seen by the fact they’ve netted four of their six away goals after the 60th minute. Mallorca are winless in their last seven LaLiga home games against Real Madrid (D2 L5), their worst home run without a win against The Blancos in the top-flight. Their last such win against them came back in February 2006 (2-1). A glimmer of hope for Mallorca is that 62.5% of Madrid’s league games this season saw both teams score, although that hasn’t stopped ‘Los Blancos’ from winning in the past – six of their previous seven LL away victories involved both teams hitting the net.
