How RCD Mallorca vs. Real Madrid: La Liga live stream online, TV channel, prediction and odds to watch
Real Madrid could extend their provisional lead to 11 points at the top of La Liga on Saturday with a trip to RCD Mallorca. Carlo Ancelotti’s men drew 3-3 with Manchester City in midweek, while the hosts lost to Athletic Club in the Copa del Rey final on penalties following a 1-1 draw after extra time. It could have been the islanders’ second title, but their performance from the spot with just two penalties scored spelled heartbreak in Seville for Javier Aguirre’s side and joy for the Basques. Mallorca are now 15th in the table and just six points above the relegation zone, but have only one defeat in their last five against Barcelona.
The Pirates have taken four points from their last two games, so they will be hoping to catch Real in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals in England next week. It was a great advertisement for European football, with Real fighting back from 1-0 and 3-2 to finish 3-3. The top position in the Spanish top flight was quite comfortable, despite eight points more than Barcelona going to Cadiz. Should Real be held or beaten by Mallorca, Xavi’s men could close the gap to five points ahead of El Clasico later this month. Los Blancos are themselves on a three-match winning streak and have lost just once in the league all season. However, the hosts won this 1-0 last year, so there is a chance of an upset result.

Team news
Mallorca: Toni Lato is out injured while Dani Rodriguez and Copete also take blows, allowing Antonio Sanchez and Matija Nastasic to come in. Predrag Rajkovic should come into the XI while Jaume Costa could come in on the left in place of Lato.
Potential Mallorca XI: Rajkovic; Gonzalez, Valjent, Raillo, Nastasic, J Costa; Darder, S Costa, Sanchez; Muriqi, Larin.
Real: Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba remain out due to injury, so Ancelotti would have to rotate some regular players such as Dani Carvajal, Antonio Rudiger, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Toni Kroos, Federco Valverde and Rodrygo. Aurelien Tchouameni is banned next week so could start here, while Eder Militao could start and audition alongside Rudiger in Manchester.
Potential real XI: Lunin; Vazquez, Militao, Nacho, F Garcia; Ceballos, Tchouameni, Modric; Bellingham; Vinicius, Brahim.
Prediction
Although they will be at half strength, Real should still be able to take all three points against struggling Mallorca, although a draw wouldn’t be the biggest surprise. Choose: Mallorca 1, Real 2.
