Mallorca Vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Tournament: La Liga

Date: Sunday, 21 September

Kick-off time: 14:15 GMT

Venue: Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Matchday five of the La Liga action kicks off here as Mallorca welcome Atletico Madrid on Sunday at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix, looking to secure their first win of the season.

It has been a tough start for Jagoba Arrasate's side, who have managed to gather just one point from their opening four matches of the season, which is also down to their tough fixtures against the big sides. However, they will be disappointed to lose their last match after being level on terms till 70 minutes before Espanyol were awarded a penalty in the final ten minutes. One positive for them has been the form of Vedat Muriqi, who is the top scorer with three goals, and Pablo Torre leading the assist chart with one.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, has also endured a mixed start to the season after gathering just five points from their opening four matches of the season. Diego Simeone's side has secured one win, drawn two, and lost one against Espanyol, which was a disappointing show from them. However, they will be happy with their performance against Liverpool in midweek, where they showed a lot of resilience and gave them a tough fight. Marcos Llorente leads the goalscoring chart with two goals in all competitions.
