Team News:
RCD Mallorca:
The manager of RCD Mallorca, Vincente Moreno will miss the service of his full-back Abdul Baba Rahman in this important match against Real Madrid. The club management signed Cucho Hernandez in the summer transfer window, though he is still unable to make his debut for his new club because of a muscle injury.
Vincente Moreno is likely to field his preferred 4-2-3-1 formation. Manolo Reina will be under the bars for RCD Mallorca. Idrissu Baba and Salva Sevilla will be deployed as two holding midfielders. Ante Budimir will be the lone centre forward upfront for the home side.
BigPesa favours a 0-2 score-line (9.2), though a 1-1 draw has the same odds as well. A narrow 1-2 win for Real is valued at 9.4.
Real Madrid:
Los Blancos will miss Luka Modric and Gareth Bale in this match, as both of them were injured in this International break. On the other hand, the likes of Toni Kroos, Marco Asensio and Nacho Fernández are also out of contention for this match. Zinedine Zidane is likely to maintain his usual 4-3-3 formation in this match.
Thibaut Courtois is likely to retain his place under the bars for the away side. Alvaro Odriozola and Daniel Carvajal will most probably be the two full-backs featuring for Real Madrid. Isco and James Rodriguez might make a come-back in the starting lineup in the absence of Kroos and Modric in this match.
The odds on BigPesa suggest that the game is expected to produce three goals, with odds of 3.85 in its favour.
