Hello and welcome to live coverage of today's La Liga clash between Mallorca and Real Madrid at Estadio Son Moix!
Unbeaten in four home matches, having won each of their last three, Mallorca are enjoying some fine form away from the Spanish mainland. However, after a 2-0 defeat at struggling Cadiz last time out, they have now lost three of their last four fixtures in all competitions. While one of the lowest scorers in La Liga this term - having found the net on just 15 occasions - Javier Aguirre's side have conceded only 18 times, which leaves them sitting in mid-table. Before the champions arrive in town today, Los Piratas have lost each of their last four league matches against Madrid.
By contrast with their hosts, Real Madrid have won four of their last five games all told, and now aim to move within two points of leaders Barcelona in La Liga's standings with another victory today. Los Blancos followed up their derby success in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals by drawing with Real Sociedad and then posting a 2-0 win over Valencia on Thursday. While Madrid have dominated Mallorca of late - winning nine of the clubs' last 10 meetings - both their La Liga losses in 2022-23 have come when venturing outside the capital.
MALLORCA (3-5-2): Predrag Rajkovic; Giovanni Gonzalez, Antonio Raillo, Matija Nastasic; Pablo Maffeo, Dani Rodriguez, Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta, Iddrisu Baba, Jaume Costa; Lee Kang-In, Vedat Muriqi.
SUBS: Dominik Greif, Leo Roman, Rodrigo Battaglia, Ludwig Augustinsson, Clement Grenier, Dennis Hadzikadunic, Antonio Sanchez, Angel Rodriguez, Tinotenda Kadewere, Amath Ndiaye, Abdon Prats, Manuel Morlanes.
The players are out on the pitch at a sunny Son Moix, and kick-off is now just moments away!
SUBS: Luis Lopez, Alvaro Odriozola, Luka Modric, Toni Kroos, David Alaba, Mariano, Jesus Vallejo.
REAL MADRID (4-3-3): Andriy Lunin; Dani Carvajal, Nacho, Antonio Rudiger, Eduardo Camavinga; Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos; Marco Asensio, Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior.
With so few attacking alternatives available on the bench, will Madrid be able to turn this game around against particularly stubborn opponents? There remains plenty of experience among the subs, though, so maybe Modric or Kroos can play a part after the break.
That's all from Mallorca today, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!
With a bitter taste in their mouths, Madrid now travel to Morocco for the Club World Cup, before returning to league action against Osasuna later this month - followed by a trip to Liverpool for the first leg of their Champions League tie. Mallorca, meanwhile, are bound for Seville next weekend, but will first savour today's success against their illustrious opponents
