Mallorca vs Real Madrid Prediction and Preview La Liga

Real Mallorca will face the Spanish and European champions Real Madrid in their opening match of the 2024-25 Spanish Primera season, hoping to somehow overcome the ‘Galacticos 2.0.’

Mallorca come into this season under new management, with Jago Arrasate replacing Javier Aguirre.
