Venue – Estadi Mallorca Son Moix

Mallorca will host Atletico Madrid in a crucial weekend clash in La Liga on Saturday, May 04. Both sides are pole part in the league standings and Atletico Madrid are aiming to make it successive victories against the struggling hosts.

Mallorca have won five, drawn seven, and lost four times in their last 16 home games this season. Despite languishing just above the relegation zone this season, Mallorca ended up in the Copa del Rey final which they eventually lost to Athletic Bilbao on penalties after the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

Atletico Madrid are sitting comfortably at the top-four of the table but will need to ensure at least two wins in their last five games to secure a Champions League qualification for next season. They have collected 64 points from their 33 league encounters and the visitors boast one of the best defence and attack in the entire league. The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in Atletico Madrid’s favour with a narrow 1-0 victory. But they have won only once in their last five games away from home.
