Mallorca vs Atlético Madrid Prediction & Preview

Preview

The Estadio Iberoamericano 2010 is set to host a thrilling La Liga encounter on Saturday, May 4th, as Mallorca welcomes Atlético Madrid in the 34th round of the competition. The home team, led by Javier Aguirre Onaindía, will be looking to upset the favorites and climb up the table from their current 16th position.

Mallorca has had a mixed bag of results in their last five matches, with one win, two losses, and two draws, earning them five points. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw against Cádiz away at Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla. The team's average goal-scoring rate is a modest 0.7 goals per game, which they will need to improve upon if they hope to take down the visiting side.

Atlético Madrid, coached by Diego Pablo Simeone, comes into this match in fourth place on the La Liga table with an impressive 64 points. They have been in good form lately, securing three wins and two losses in their last five matches, accumulating nine points in the process. Their previous game was a convincing 3-1 victory over Athletic Club at home at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano.

The head-to-head record between these teams makes for interesting reading, with Mallorca holding a slight edge having won three of their last five encounters against Atlético Madrid, who have two wins, and no draws. The reverse fixture earlier this season saw Atlético Madrid emerge victorious with a 1-0 win at Estadio Civitas Metropolitano.

Bet

Considering the recent form and goal-scoring averages of both teams, I would recommend betting on Under 2.5 goals at odds of 1.57. Atlético Madrid's away form has been decent, but they tend to concede more goals on the road, averaging 2.25 goals per game. Mallorca, on the other hand, has a stingy defense at home, allowing only 0.33 goals per game. With both teams' scoring rates relatively low, this bet offers good value and seems like a safe choice.
