Mallorca is in the worst moment of the season.

After a great start of the campaign, they have been struggling a lot since the WC break. They are still a very competitive team, difficult to beat, but their level has decreased a lot, especially upfront. Their two key players in attack (Muriqi and Kant) are in bad form, not having chances which is worrying. Muriqi has not scored a goal in the last 5 games, while in the previous 12 games he scored 8.

The team is not producing anything in attack, and this is a problem because they have already been one of the lowest-scorer teams in La Liga (15 in 19 rounds). Anyway, they are in a quiet 10th position, 6 points above relegation, so they don't have pressure.

Their performances lately have been so poor, having lost against relegation side Cadiz, being outplayed by Osauna and Real Sociedad, and winning luckily and undeservedly against Celta and Valladolid.

On the other hand, Madrid is in a situation where they can’t afford to lose more points, especially against mid-table or relegation teams. The difference with Barcelona is 5 points already so they are forced to win here.

Their recent performances have been convincing, especially upfront where they are finding a lot of chances and goals by several different players. In defense they are struggling a bit more and for this match it could be a problem due to the absences of Mendy and Militao, but don’t see it a problem here today.

I’m expecting a match where Mallorca will park the bus and play a defensive game, waiting for some chances in set pieces or at counters. They will be outplayed by Madrid, who will have the control and possession. Is a team already accustomed to that so they should be able to handle it correctly.

This game plan of coach Aguirre has been terrible in the last games. Mallorca lost 4:0 in September, but last season they also lost 0:3 and 6:1. As coach Aguirre said some time ago: “To play against Madrid is like going to the dentist”.

Seeing the current level of both teams, quality difference and the kind of game I’m expecting, can’t see any other result than a victory by Real Madrid.

马略卡岛正处于本赛季最糟糕的时刻。

在经历了一个很好的开始后，他们在WC假期后一直在苦苦挣扎。他们仍然是一支非常有竞争力的球队，很难被击败，但他们的水平下降了很多，尤其是前场。他们进攻端的两名关键球员(穆里奇和康德)状态不佳，没有机会，这令人担忧。穆里奇在过去的5场比赛中没有进球，而在之前的12场比赛中他进了8球。

这支球队在进攻端没有任何表现，这是一个问题，因为他们已经是西甲进球最少的球队之一(19轮15个)。不管怎样，他们安静地排在第10位，比保级高出6分，所以他们没有压力。

他们最近的表现非常糟糕，输给了保级球队加的斯，输给了奥萨纳和皇家社会，幸运地赢得了塞尔塔和巴利亚多利德。

另一方面，马德里现在的处境是他们不能再失去更多的积分，尤其是面对中游或保级球队。与巴萨的差距已经是5分了，所以他们不得不在这里赢球。

他们最近的表现令人信服，尤其是在前场，他们发现了很多不同球员的机会和进球。在防守方面，他们的表现有些困难，这场比赛由于门迪和米利多的缺席可能会成为一个问题，但今天不认为这是一个问题。

我期待着这场比赛，马洛卡会停好车，打一场防守比赛，等待定位球或反击的机会。他们将被马德里击败，马德里将拥有控制权和控球权。一个团队已经习惯了，所以他们应该能够正确地处理它。

阿吉雷教练的这个比赛计划在最近几场比赛中非常糟糕。马洛卡在9月份以4:0输球，但上赛季他们也以0:3和6:1输球。正如教练阿吉雷之前所说:“对阵马德里就像去看牙医。”

看看两队目前的水平，质量的差异和我所期待的比赛，除了皇马的胜利，我看不到任何其他的结果。
