Our Analysis: Form of Both Teams
La Liga champions kickstart their season with a trip to Mallorca as they look to retain their title.
A mixed pre-season has seen Real Madrid fall to defeats against AC Milan and Barcelona, but with key absences after a hectic summer of sport, these can be taken with a pinch of salt.
Los Blancos looked back to their efficient best in midweek when they beat Atalanta in the Super Cup final.
Last campaign, Real Madrid secured narrow 1-0 wins in both matches against Mallorca. That will give the hosts some hope, but the addition of Kylian Mbappe will make life even more difficult this time around.

Courtois; Garcia, Rudiger, Miltao, Vazquez, Ceballos, Modric, Valverde, Vinicius Junor, Rodrygo, Mbappe
Champions to pick up three points
Real Madrid were far superior last season and comfortably collected yet another La Liga title. It’ll take a big effort to stop them once again, and the addition of Brazilian star Endrick and Kylian Mbappe will make them even stronger.
With Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo having recovered from Copa America. Both wingers will be looking to repeat their personal campaigns last year and prove they are still the main men.
As mentioned, Mallorca only lost by a single goal to Real Madrid in both matches, but their class will likely shine through, and a narrow loss is on the cards once again.

Mbappe to steal the show
Everyone is very excited to see how Kylian Mbappe will get on in his first season in Spain. After another incredible season with PSG, where the Frenchman scored 27 Ligue 1 goals in 29 appearances, fans are desperate to see how he gets on in a Real Madrid shirt.
Away from the Bernabeu, Mbappe might just score his first league goal of the campaign away from the pressure. Although he thrives under it, this could be the perfect game to get off the mark.
He scored almost every week last season, and we’re expecting more from him again at his new club.
Mallorca vs Real Madrid Bet 2: Kylian Mbappé Anytime Scorer @ 1.60 with Betway and 1.62 on Vbet
Goals at a premium
If Real Madrid are going to secure a narrow victory on the road, it makes sense to back Mallorca to fail to score against the champions once again.
Mallorca could only conjure up two shots on target in this fixture last season, and failed to hit it at all at the Bernabeu. An xG of 0.31 in front of their fans was never going to see them score against the La Liga giants.
With Real Madrid expected to dominate possession, Mallorca might be chasing shadows in the Spanish sun for long periods, and are unlikely to trouble Courtois in goal.
