Real Madrid are still in the La Liga title race, but they cannot afford to drop too many more points if they want to deny Barcelona back-to-back championship crowns.Madrid no doubt have one eye on their upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, but first they must take care of domestic business in Palma de Mallorca.Real Madrid with a -1 handicap – 8/5 with MidniteBoth teams to score – 10/13 with 247BetKylian Mbappe to score any time – 4/6 with BetfredReal Mallorca vs Real Madrid oddsFind the latest Real Mallorca vs Real Madrid betting odds here. All odds are provided by our recommended football bookmakers and are subject to change.Real Mallorca vs Real Madrid predictionsWe have entered the business end of the campaign, and the final two months of 2025/26 will define whether or not this has been a successful season for Real Madrid. As things stand, the jury is out. The Xabi Alonso experiment patently did not work, with the Spanish giants relieving their former midfielder of his managerial duties a couple of weeks after the turn of the year.Alvaro Arbeloa has for the most part done a good job as his replacement, but the next few weeks will determine his future.The Champions League is the stage on which he will be judged most, as is typical at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.Madrid were impressive in the round of 16, beating Manchester City home and away to advance in convincing fashion.But a quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich, the first leg of which is scheduled for Tuesday, will not be easy.There is work to do in La Liga too. As domestic football resumes this weekend following the March international break, Madrid find themselves four points adrift of Barcelona.It is not an insurmountable deficit, but it does give Barca a clear advantage in the fight to be crowned Spanish champions. Hansi Flick’s side will also benefit from the fact that the final Clasico of the campaign will take place at the Camp Nou.Nevertheless, Madrid will view this weekend as an opportunity to close the gap at the top of the division. They play a few hours before Barcelona, so a victory over Real Mallorca would move them within a point of top spot.Flick’s team then face a difficult test away to Atletico Madrid, whom they will also face in the last eight of the Champions League.After back-to-back defeats by Osasuna and Getafe a few weeks back, Madrid won three games on the bounce before the pause for international fixtures, including a vital and satisfying 3-2 triumph over Atletico last time out.They have some winnable games on the horizon before the trip to Barcelona on May 10, so the title race is by no means over yet.However, a failure to emerge victorious on Saturday would hand a major boost to their arch-rivals. Even though the Bayern match is just around the corner, Madrid must ensure they are sufficiently focused on Real Mallorca this weekend.Real Mallorca vs Real Madrid betting tipsWill Real Madrid triumph over Real Mallorca, or might there be a surprise in store?Madrid to triumphFor all that Real Madrid need to win on Saturday to keep their title hopes alive, Real Mallorca could do with the points themselves.Eighteenth in the standings with nine rounds of fixtures remaining, Mallorca are fighting for their top-flight lives.Unfortunately for them, it is hard to see Madrid dropping points here. Arbeloa’s side are in a confident mood and they have got some key men back from injury, not least Kylian Mbappe.Seven of Madrid’s last 10 league triumphs have been by a two-goal margin or more. We anticipate them making it eight in 11 at the Estadio Mallorca Son Moix. Choose Real Madrid with a -1 handicap at 8/5 with Midnite Mallorca can find netReal Madrid’s defensive unit will be tested like never before against Vincent Kompany’s free-scoring Bayern Munich.But while Real Mallorca do not have anyone in their squad comparable to Harry Kane or Michael Olise, they too can pose questions of the Madrid backline.The Blancos have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last six La Liga outings. Their most recent clean sheet was way back on February 8.As for Mallorca, they have found the back of the net in each of their last three matches. Madrid’s backline may well be breached here. Tip both teams to score at 10/13 with 247Bet Mbappe ready to flyVinicius Junior really stepped up in Mbappe’s recent injury-enforced absence, with Arbeloa rightly praised for getting the best out of the Brazilian.It will be interesting to see whether Vinicius remains as threatening now that Mbappe is available again, although he is a doubt for this game.The France international struck in a 2-1 victory over Brazil during the international break, and he is now looking for his first Madrid goal in two months.Only three La Liga teams have conceded more goals than Real Mallorca, so Mbappe should get chances in this one. Go for Kylian Mbappe to score any time at 4/6 with Betfred Real Mallorca vs Real Madrid predicted lineupsReal Mallorca expected lineup: Roman; Morey, Raillo, Valjent, Lato; Mascarell, Costa; Luvumboo, Joseph, Torre; Muriqi.Real Madrid expected lineup: Lunin; Alexander-Arnold, Rudiger, Huijsen, F. Garcia; Tchouameni; Pitarch, Bellingham; Guler; Vinicius, Mbappe.
