Team Analysis
Real Madrid, the reigning champions, appears to have regained their form, recently defeating Valencia and Deportivo Minera. With key players like Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior leading the attack, they are expected to demonstrate their dominance in this matchup. Only Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao are unavailable due to injuries, allowing the majority of their star-studded squad to participate.
Mallorca, managed by Jagoba Arrasate, has shown competitive spirit this season, sitting in 6th place in La Liga. However, their recent form has been concerning, highlighted by a heavy defeat to Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey. Despite having a few standout players like Cyle Larin and Vedat Muriqi, Mallorca will need to elevate their performance significantly to challenge the giants of Real Madrid.
Head-to-Head
Historically, Real Madrid has maintained a strong record against Mallorca. The most recent meetings have favored Real, including a 1-1 draw earlier this season in La Liga. However, in the Spanish Super Cup, their past encounters have been more lopsided, with Real Madrid winning decisively in previous seasons. This history adds to the pressure on Mallorca to perform well against a formidable opponent.
Prediction
Given Real Madrid's current form and their track record against Mallorca, they are favored to win this semifinal. However, Mallorca has shown resilience in previous encounters, often keeping the scoreline close. A reasonable prediction could see the match ending in a 2-2 draw in regulation time, reflecting both teams' capabilities to score. Furthermore, considering Mallorca's defensive strategies, a bet on them with a handicap of +1.5 seems prudent. This choice acknowledges the possibility of a competitive match while still favoring Real Madrid's strength.
Tip: Mallorca +1.5
