Atl. Madrid vs Mallorca Prediction & Tips
Current LaLiga Santander (LL) champion, Atlético de Madrid occupies the second position seven points behind Real Madrid, although with one game less than the whites. Cholo Simeone’s squad receives Real Mallorca without a margin of error, to whom they have lost in just one of their last 13 league games at Vicente Calderón / Wanda Metropolitano (G7, E5, P1).
In each of the two previous meetings between the two, Atleti scored at least two goals, something they have achieved in six of their last seven LL matches. The problem of the mattress team is not being the success in the face of goal, but the defensive fragility: Atleti registers a whopping nine goals against more (14) than at this point in the last championship. Alarming.
Fourteenth before this day, the recently promoted Mallorca can be moderately satisfied with his position after the first 15 days. However, the vermilion team has already linked seven games without winning in the championship (E5, P2), and it is measured against a rival that it has only defeated in four of its 26 visits in the highest category. So far in the championship, the Balearic squad has a very poor away balance of 5/21 points (G1, E2, P4).
Four of the last six goals conceded away from home by Luis García Plaza’s team in the league have come in the final 30 minutes. It seems that Mallorca becomes more vulnerable as the game progresses: 67% of the goals received away from home by the vermilions in LL 2021-22 have been scored in the second half.
Players to watch: Antoine Griezmann has been directly involved in five goals (G3, A2) in his last six games (club and national team), and his team did not lose every time he scored or assisted a goal. In the away team, Ángel Rodríguez has had three direct goal appearances (G2, A1) in his last three meetings with Mallorca, and all three have been off the bench.
Highlight: a red card has been shown in four of Mallorca’s last five official away games.
