Real Madrid take on Mallorca this week
The Supercopa de Espana features a clash between two La Liga sides this week as Mallorca lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in a crucial semifinal clash at the King Abdullah Sports City on Thursday. The two teams have experienced contrasting fortunes this season.
Real Madrid vs Mallorca Preview
Mallorca are in sixth place in the La Liga standing and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The Balearic outfit slumped to a shock 3-0 defeat at the hands of Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey over the weekend and cannot afford another debacle in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table and have shown marked improvement after a relatively slow start to their season. Los Blancos thrashed Deportivo Minerva by a comprehensive 5-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
