The last meeting between the two teams ended with Real Madrid winning 3-0

Real Madrid will have to lift themselves up off the canvas when they welcome Mallorca to the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday night.

Los Blancos’ bid to hold onto their La Liga crown went up in smoke in a barnstorming 4-3 defeat at Barcelona on Sunday, in a game that brought up my Bet Builder.

That body blow has left Carlo Ancelotti’s side seven points behind their arch-rivals with just three rounds of league fixtures remaining.

Back at their capital headquarters this midweek, Real Madrid will need to rally when Mallorca come calling.

Jagoba Arrasate’s side snapped a three-game winless run in La Liga with a narrow 2-1 win over Real Valladolid on Saturday.

That victory has lifted the Pirates up into 9th place in the table, keeping them firmly in contention to secure European football next season.

Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid are short-priced 1/3 favourites on Boylesports to bounce back at the first time of asking on Wednesday night.

Mallorca come into this clash as massive 7/1 underdogs on Boylesports, while a share of the Santiago Bernabeu spoils is also considered unlikely at 17/4 with the same firm.

Real Madrid recorded a 3-0 win over Mallorca at the semi-final stage of the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia back in January. However, it’s worth noting that Los Blancos were held to a 1-1 draw in this season’s reverse fixture in La Liga.

After suffering an ankle injury against Barcelona on Sunday, Vinicius Junior has become the latest player to join what is an ever-growing injury list for Real Madrid boss Ancelotti to contend with.

As was the case last time out, Mallorca again look set to be without the injured trio of Abdon Prats, Manu Morlanes and Robert Navarro.

Real Madrid: Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Tchouameni, F Garcia; Ceballos, Modric; Guler, Bellingham, Rodrygo; Mbappe.

Mallorca: Grief; Maffeo, Valjent, Raillo, Copete, Mojica; A Sanchez, Costa, Darder, D Rodriguez; Muriqi.
