RCD Mallorca vs Real Madrid match at La Liga 2023: All you need to know

At the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, mid-table RCD Mallorca is playing host to defending champions Real Madrid to kick off Sunday's La Liga action. Real Madrid is off to the Balearic Islands to face RCD Mallorca in an effort to win back-to-back La Liga games.

Despite an inconsistent performance after the World Cup, Real Madrid managed to secure a win against Valencia on Thursday night, making it three victories in five La Liga games since the 2022 Qatar World Cup. However, earlier losses to Villarreal and a draw with Real Sociedad had already impacted their results.

With Barcelona leading La Liga by 5 points, Real Madrid needs to avoid mistakes if they hope to retain their championship title this season. However, with half the season remaining, there are many twists and turns still to come in the title race. On the other hand, Mallorca had a disappointing 2-0 loss to relegation-threatened Cadiz in their previous match. They allowed both goals before halftime and were unable to make a comeback, missing an opportunity to close in on European spots.


Despite this setback, RCD Mallorca has been performing strongly this season, earning 25 points from 19 games to sit in the middle of the standings. They have a comfortable 6-point lead over the relegation zone and are only 4 points behind 7th-placed Rayo Vallecano. Their strong showing is particularly noteworthy, considering they finished 16th in La Liga last season.
