Match Details
- Date: 2025-09-21
- Time: 2:15 PM UTC
- Location: Estadi de Son Moix, Palma, Spain
Game Overview
Mallorca, currently ranked 19th in La Liga, host Atlético Madrid, who are 11th, at Estadi de Son Moix. Atlético Madrid enter as favorites after a recent 2-0 La Liga win, but come off a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League. Mallorca have struggled with back-to-back losses and aim to improve their home form. Historically, Atlético have dominated recent head-to-head clashes.
Key Factors to Consider
- Mallorca have lost consecutive league matches recently, including a 3-2 defeat to Espanyol despite strong possession and attacking stats. Atlético Madrid secured a solid 2-0 win against Villarreal and showed control with 61% possession but were edged out 3-2 by Liverpool in Europe four days ago.
- Atlético Madrid have won 7 of the last 10 matches against Mallorca, with several matches featuring tight scorelines. The last six home meetings saw under 2.5 goals, indicating typically low-scoring affairs.
- Mallorca have no major injuries reported publicly at this time. Atlético Madrid face absences with ankle injury to Johnny Cardoso, and muscle injuries affecting José Giménez, Álex Baena, and Thiago Almada, expected to return around early October.
- Atlético's recent Champions League loss might motivate a strong domestic response. The venue provides Mallorca home advantage, though their recent form suggests vulnerability. The match timing early afternoon UTC can influence player freshness.
- Atlético Madrid is motivated to bounce back from their European defeat and solidify their position in mid-table. Mallorca, struggling near the relegation zone, are motivated to secure points at home to improve their standing.
