Atlético Madrid vs Mallorca prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 1, 2025
One of the matches of the 22nd round of the Spanish Championship will take place on Saturday in Madrid, where Atlético will host Mallorca at the Metropolitano Stadium. We suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with a good chance of success.
Match Preview
Atlético Madrid did not hold the top spot in La Liga for long and, after two unsuccessful matches, now have to chase their competitors again. In the last rounds, Diego Simeone's team unexpectedly lost 0-1 away to Leganés and then failed to secure a home victory against Villarreal, drawing 1-1. As a result, the team dropped to second place, trailing Real Madrid by four points.
Despite this, Atlético still boasts the best defense in the league, having conceded only 14 goals. Their title hopes remain high, but they must avoid dropping points against underdogs. Before the recent setbacks, the team had an impressive eight-game winning streak in La Liga.
Mallorca started the new year poorly, suffering two consecutive defeats in La Liga. First, they were thrashed 0-4 away by Villarreal, and then they lost 0-1 at home to Betis. Despite these setbacks, Jagoba Arrasate’s side remains in the upper half of the table, currently sitting in sixth place, but only one point ahead of their closest rival.
The visitors have been inconsistent, with their uncompromising streak in La Liga reaching 10 matches (4 wins, 6 losses). In 10 away games this season, Mallorca has neither drawn nor settled for a point, registering five wins and five losses. Furthermore, Mallorca has already faced top-five teams six times this season but has yet to claim a victory (2 draws, 4 defeats).
