Where to watch Real Madrid vs Mallorca?

Wednesday’s match of the 19th round of La Liga will offer a confrontation of two teams with different ambitions and positions in the table. While the home team clearly wants the league title, the visitors have the main goal of saving the league. The battle will be hosted by Santiago Bernabéu, the match will be played on January 3 at 19:15.

Real Madrid cannot lose at home

The Santiago Bernabéu is a symbol of Real Madrid, on which they simply do not lose and of which the opponents’ players are afraid. Since the start of the season, Carlo Ancelotti’s charges have won ten times and drawn once here. No one has beaten them!

Mallorca are struggling away

Mallorca are not doing well away from home, but on the other hand they had a tough draw. In six games against Almeria, Atlético Madrid, Girona, Betis, Real Sociedad and Vallecano, they have only taken two points and conceded 11 goals.

Betting tip – Both teams to score

Real Madrid have kept a clean sheet in only one of their last four games, plus the first games after a bye tend to be tough. That’s why I think both teams will be able to assert themselves. At the same time, I expect Real Madrid to take some time to get up to speed and score the first goal between the 16th and 30th minute. Once Ancelotti’s charges strike, a slight nervousness will fall from the team and Mallorca will have a hard time.
