Real Madrid come into the match having recorded a good 3-0 win at Celtic in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Celtic made life tough for Real Madrid in the first half but the European champions took control of the match in the second half, scoring 3 goals in the space of 21 minutes to take maximum points.
That result means Real Madrid have a 100% record in all competitions this season. They started the campaign with a 2-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt in the European Super Cup and have won all 4 of their La Liga fixtures.
The wins in the league have come over Almeria, Celta Vigo, and Espanyol away plus Real Betis at home.
Trends show Real Madrid have not suffered any defeats in their 10 most recent matches in all competitions.
They are undefeated in their last 7 La Liga games and in 29 of their last 30 home league matches. Real Madrid have kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 home league fixtures.
RCD Mallorca make the trip to the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on the back of a 1-1 draw at home with Girona last weekend.
It took until the 87th minute for RCD Mallorca to open the scoring and the home fans thought that was enough to take maximum points. However, Girona were awarded a penalty at the end of the game to snatch a point.
That result means RCD Mallorca have recorded 1 win from their 4 La Liga games this season. The victory came away at Rayo Vallecano and was a good 2-0 win. RCD Mallorca also picked up a point thanks to a 0-0 draw at Athletic Bilbao and their only defeat of the season came at home against Real Betis.
Trends show RCD Mallorca are undefeated in their last 4 away La Liga games. There have been under 2.5 goals in those 4 away league fixtures.
Team news and Real Madrid are expected to be without the injured duo of Éder Militão and Karim Benzema, both of which picked up injuries on Tuesday.
RCD Mallorca will be without the injured trio of Iddrisu Baba, Dominik Greif, and Amath Ndiaye Diedhiou.
Real Madrid’s strong start to the season should continue with a win in this game. RCD Mallorca will not be rolled over but Real Madrid already look like they mean business again this season and should take maximum points, with a clean sheet and under 2.5 goals scored.
