Xabi Alonso’s Real Madrid will take on Real Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Matchday 3 of La Liga.Probably for the first time under Xabi Alonso, Los Blancos looked the part in their 3-0 win over Oviedo last weekend. With Madrid finally hitting form, Mallorca could well be in the wrong place at the wrong time on Saturday night.

Real Madrid vs Mallorca predictionsReal Madrid have won two from two in La Liga this season. They started with an unconvincing 1-0 home win over Osasuna on Matchday 1, with Kylian Mbappé winning and converting the penalty that decided the match. Mbappé was on target again on Matchday 2, this time scoring a brace in Real’s 3-0 win over Oviedo at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium. Substitute Vinícius Júnior got the third. Real’s Matchday 1 win over Osasuna was lethargic. Los Blancos looked like a team that had only had a brief preseason (thanks to their Club World Cup exploits).The win over Oviedo was more like it. Xabi Alonso rang the changes before the match. Trent Alexander-Arnold and Vinícius Júnior were both left on the bench, their places going to Dani Carvajal and Rodrygo.Vinícius can surely have no complaints. He scored just three goals in 16 La Liga fixtures in the second half of the previous season. This, after he so publicly declared he was robbed of the Ballon d’Or.Could this have been a shot across his bows fired by Xabi Alonso? The new head coach will expect his players to buy into his work ethic. It could be that Alonso doesn’t feel Vinícius is currently on the same page.If it was the proverbial kick up the backside, it may have worked. After coming off the bench in the 63rd minute, Vinícius provided an assist and also opened his goal scoring account with Real’s third after 93 minutes. Madrid’s opponents on Saturday, Real Mallorca have already endured a torrid start to the new season. The fixture computer wasn’t kind to the Pirates. It handed them an opening fixture against Barcelona on Matchday 1, followed by Celta Vigo on Matchday 2. Now they face Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium on Matchday 3.Mallorca sit 16th in the table after their two opening matches. They lost 3-0 at home to Barcelona in their opening match and managed to pick up a point with a 1-1 draw, again at home, to Celta Vigo the following weekend.The match against Barcelona was a non event. Jagoba Arrasate’s team had Manu Morlanes and Vedat Muriqi sent off in the first half. It was a miracle that they only lost 3-0 playing for so long with nine men.The following weekend’s match against Celta Vigo would be a better benchmark to judge Arrasate’s team against. However, at their Son Moix Stadium home, Mallorca needed an 87-minute equaliser from Mateu Morey to salvage a point. The Pirates probably just deserved their draw. The possession stats were fairly equal, with the hosts having 49 percent of the ball. But Jagoba Arrasate’s team had the upper hand in shots at goal with 12, compared to Celta’s eight.Real Madrid vs Mallorca betting tips. 18+ GambleAware.org – Please play responsibly.Real Madrid vs Mallorca betting tipsAlthough Mallorca’s draw with Celta was a huge improvement on their performance against Barcelona, it’s hard to see their improved showing having any influence on their trip to the Bernabeu. It looks set to be a long night for Jagoba Arrasate’s men. Our match betting tips follow:Madrid to keep another clean sheetNew head coach Xabi Alonso is now looking to get his Real Madrid team playing a more possession based style of football than previous manager Carlo Ancelotti.So far, so good. Madrid has won two from two and are yet to concede a goal. With Los Blancos holding onto the ball more, the expectation is that they should concede fewer goals.Although they are not one of the favourites to go down, Mallorca must be getting a touch worried after their poor start. It’s hard to see them attempt anything other than damage limitation at the Bernabeu. They are more likely to pick their fights elsewhere.Madrid should win this without too much bother and with a clean sheet. Bet on Real Madrid to win and no in BTTS at 4/5 with bet365 Strike duo set to cause Mallorca problemsAfter his brace against Oviedo last weekend, it’s almost getting to the point where it’s not worth backing Kylian Mbappé to score. The French captain is 4/7 to score anytime and 11/5 to score first. As was the case in Madrid’s first two matches, Mbappé scored first. So a bet on him at 11/5 isn’t the worst idea.However, Vinícius Júnior seemed to respond to being dropped last weekend. The Brazilian registered an assist and a goal after his introduction from the bench after 63 minutes. Assuming Alonso restores him to the starting line up, we might well see a more motivated Vinícius. With Mbappé scoring for fun, we can see the Mallorca goal coming under a barrage and we are backing the two strikers to each register at least two shots on target at just under even money. Back Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior to both have 2+ shots on target at 93/100 with Betfair Vinícius out to prove a pointPicking up on our previous tip, it already looks like Xabi Alonso’s decision to bench Vinícius Júnior last weekend had paid dividends. With the Brazilian now off the mark this season, it would be typical of him to find the net again this weekend. Vinícius Júnior to score anytime at even money with SBK Real Madrid vs Mallorca predicted lineupsReal Madrid expected lineup: Courtois; Carvajal, Militao, Huijsen, Carreras; Valverde, Tchouameni, Guler; Mastantuono, Mbappe, Vinicius.Mallorca expected lineup: Roman; Kumbulla, Raillo, Valjent; Morey, Darder, Lato, Mojica; Torre; Joseph, Asano.
