Atletico Madrid vs Mallorca Preview

• Tournament: La Liga
• Date: Saturday, Feb 1
• Kick-off Time: 05:30 pm GMT
• Venue: Riyadh Air Metropolitano

The Riyadh Air Metropolitano welcomes Atletico Madrid against Mallorca on Saturday, February 1, 2025, in Round 22 of La Liga. Mallorca will be looking to upset Diego Simeone’s side, who will be intent on keeping up the momentum and getting a grip on the league table, after they have had a run of no wins, albeit in two consecutive Serie A sides.

Atletico Madrid, meanwhile, was in fine shape prior to this match, winning three of their last five, drawing once, and losing once. They have beat Salzburg 4-1 in the Champions League, drawn 1-1 with Villarreal, and won 2-1 against Bayer Leverkusen. But they only lost to Leganes in a surprising 1-0 loss, before winning by 4-0 to Elche. In their last five matches, the Colchoneros have been efficient in attack (12 goals scored, four conceded).

However, Mallorca have struggled for results over the last five fixtures, winning in just two matches and having three heavy defeats. However, apart from a narrow 1-0 win over Getafe, they were publicly dismantled 3-0 by Real Madrid and 4-0 by Villarreal. They also were beaten 3-0 by Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey and 1-0 by Real Betis. Mallorca required an upturn in performances, with two players only finding the net in their five matches and conceding 11 themselves.

Atletico Madrid Team News

Key midfielder Rodrigo De Paul is suspended for the match and Atletico Madrid could have to do without him at this fixture. Javi Galan is out for early March 2025 with a knee injury as well and is also deflected as well. Even though there are these absences, Atletico have enough depth to play a competitive side.

Mallorca Team News

Mallorca has a more tricky situation regarding squad availability. Omar Mascarell is also suspended, leaving them with no midfielders. Antonio Sanches is unavailable until late February 2025 due to a hamstring injury. However, both Manu Morlanes and Pablo Maffeo are doubtful due to muscle injury and knee injury respectively. Mallorca may have to rely on their squad strength to compete with Atletico with such key absences.

Key Players to Watch in Atletico Madrid vs Mallorca

Alexander Sørloth (Atletico Madrid)

Atletico have found themselves in a dire state in the La Liga this season, having struggled since Diego Simeone’s recent appointment. His physicality and aerial quality will be important in unpicking Mallorca’s deep defensive block.

Cyle Larin (Mallorca)

Mallorca are one of just a few teams failing to make the Champions League zone in Spain and yet Larin has been one of their shining lights this season with 5 goals and 2 assists from 18 league games. Mallorca must hope that Larin could take his chances against Atletico’s solid defence if they have any hope of getting a result.

Atletico Madrid vs Mallorca Prediction

However, Atletico Madrid is a strong favorite for this game, with home advantage, a better squad depth, and better form. Mallorca have not been able to cope with the top teams in recent weeks and will struggle to contain Atletico’s attacking duo of Griezmann and Sørloth. The most likely outcome is a comfortable home win given Atletico’s defensive solidity and Mallorca’s poor scoring record.

Prediction: Atletico Madrid 3-1 Mallorca
