Real Madrid could get one step closer to the La Liga title as they travel to a bruised Mallorca side, smarting from the loss in the Copa del Rey final. The Mallorca Son Moix Stadium in the Balearic Islands will be hosting this matchday 31 fixture on Saturday. The hosts are 16th with 30 points and five above the bottom-three, while the visitors are top with 75 points and eight ahead of the nearest challengers. Mallorca are coming off a heartbreaking loss via penalties to Athletic Club in the final of the Copa del Rey. They will now have to bounce back quickly and make sure they aren’t dragged into a late-season relegation battle. Their league form has been all over the place, with two wins, draws, and losses each in their last six La Liga matches. They did run Madrid close in the reverse fixture, with only an Antonio Rudiger goal separating the sides.

Madrid had a scintillating 3-3 draw with Manchester City in the Champions League quarterfinal first leg during a midweek clash. The second leg is set to be played in Manchester next week, which could be top of Real’s agenda. Yet, they can take a step closer to the league title with a win here, which could take them 11 points clear at the top. They are on a 14-game unbeaten run in all competitions, and a shock defeat can be ruled out unless the visitors make wholesale changes and collapse spectacularly. Their form in the league is even more impressive, with Real losing only once all season long, back in September, to Atletico. That defeat came on the road, but Real are unbeaten in their last 11 away league games, although they have drawn four of them.
