Mallorca take on the visitors Atletico Madrid in the round 31 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played om Saturday, April 9th at Visit Mallorca Estadi (Palma de Mallorca).
Mallorca are involved in relegation battle again after they earned promotion last season. In early February they managed to win twice in a row at Cadiz and Athletics. But this was, so far, the last success. Series of defeats forced the board to change the manager. Luis Garcia Plaza was replaced during the break by the national team experienced Javier Aguirre, who has previously, however, with varying degrees of success, worked with Spanish clubs. The Mexican's debut can not be called successful: another 0-1, this time against Getafe. Now the hosting side is already occupying the 18th place. However, so far only 2 points before Cadiz, and before Granada - 3.

Atletico are playing this match between the Champions League quarter-finals against Manchester City. In England, on the one hand, the tactics did not work. There, the Spaniards decided to stay in defense, and did not inflict a single blow during the whole fight - and did not hold De Braine once. But still away 0-1 leave the Spaniards a chance for overall success. All 6 recent matches in the domestic arena have been won. April, for example, began with a 4-1 win at home – Wanda Metropolitano – over Alaves. On the other hand, that match wasn’t easy one until a goal from a penalty by Luis Suarez in the 75th minute, which finally broke the resistance of Alaves.
In the 2019/2020 season Mallorca lost both matches to Atletico. But in December last year, they unexpectedly won 2-1 in Madrid - although they were behind till 80th minute. Mallorca are left without de Gallaerta, the main midfielder, Greif and Sedlar. Atletico have Hector Herrera and Jimenez in question, and Correa have been disqualified. Bookmakers believe that Atletico will take revenge for the failure at the beginning of winter.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win.
