Before this season, Real Mallorca had last played in La Liga in 2013 and they have found it tough on their return, picking just one win in the opening five matches and they have failed to score in three of the five matches. Much of their troubles so far in the season is down to a porous defence, having conceded eight goals in five matches already in the league. They have also failed to score in their last two home matches though keeping a clean sheet against the current league leaders, Athletic Club shows they can be organized and pull surprises. That clean sheet is their only one in the three home matches this season and as they go to this game, a key man to watch will be Croatian Ante Budimir, who has scored twice already, both his goals coming against Getafe in their last game. These two sides last met in 2013 and in the last four meetings, Mallorca are unbeaten against Atletico though three of these were draws.

Atletico Madrid on the other hand, carry a three – game winless run to the game; two draws and a loss and they will be seeking a return to winning ways, which could take them back to the league summit. To be able to do that, Atletico will have to address the defensive issues coming up in the team, having conceded two times in three of the last four matches. They have also failed to score in two of their last three matches but they have four clean sheets and five wins in 10 La Liga matches ahead of this clash. They have conceded four goals in the last five La Liga matches and away from home, they have conceded two or more in three of the last five in La Liga. Among Atletico’s richly talented forward line, Alvaro Morata and Joao Felix are the only scorers, each with one goal. At two goals, Vitolo, a midfielder, is the leading scorer at the team and will be the man attracting most focus from Mallorca.
