Match Prediction

Diego Simeone has plans of winning the league title

Atletico Madrid were one of the biggest spenders during the off-season, and given that they have ambitions of winning the league title, Los Rojiblancos would be desperate to get back to winning ways in order to not lose touch with those at the summit of the table.

Real Mallorca are win-less in their last four LaLiga games, and should ostensibly not pose much of a threat to the capital club.

Furthermore, Vicente Moreno's men have scored just four goals from their five LaLiga fixtures till date, and it is highly likely that they will not breach a resolute Atletico Madrid defense.

Match prediction: Real Mallorca 0-2 Atletico Madrid
