Spain La Liga: Mallorca – Real Madrid 04/04/2026

Mallorca are improving under Demichelis and look more competitive at home despite facing a much stronger opponent. Real Madrid are favorites but arrive with heavy schedule issues and key absences, making the home +1 asian handicap an attractive option.

The coaching change was necessary for Mallorca, who were clearly performing below their potential and had dressing room issues with continuous clashes between players and Arrasate. With Demichelis on the bench, they showed signs of improvement. They drew 2-2 away at Osasuna, in a game where they were leading 2-0 until the 89th minute, won 2-1 at home against Espanyol and lost 2-1 away to Elche, missing a penalty in the 92nd minute.
Logic says that time works in their favor and based on their squad they are capable of appearing much better going forward. Home ground has always been their strong weapon and despite facing a much stronger opponent, I believe they have good chances to be competitive.
Real Madrid will battle with Barcelona for the title. Despite many problems, they are four points behind the top and in the Champions League quarterfinals. However this match does not come at a good time.
They had 14 players away with their national teams, on Tuesday they have the huge Champions League game with Bayern and apart from some internationals that may be protected, they will also have the certain absences of Valverde, Courtois and Rodrygo.
Real are the favorites but Mallorca can make things difficult. Bookmakers offer the away win a little above 1.50 and give the option to take the Asian +1 on the home side, which does not lose even if they are defeated by one goal.
