Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid Prediction 4 May 2024

Mallorca has become a finalist in the Copa del Rey this season but is far from securing its place in La Liga. Atletico, on the other hand, is in the top four, but the season cannot be called successful. Nevertheless, it is still considered the favorite at the "Mallorca Son Moix" stadium - 2.2 against 3.95.

Losses

Mallorca approaches the match without injuries. However, Mascarell will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.

Atletico's losses are more serious. However, Vitolo and Lemar have been absent for a long time, and Gabriel Paulista and Depay have not established themselves in the starting lineup. On the other hand, Griezmann will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards - he is the team's main creative player.

Head-to-head encounters

In the span of seven direct matches, Atletico has only one more victory. In the first round, it achieved a minimal advantage with a score of 1:0. Betting on Total goals under (2.5) can be done with odds of 1.65.

Trends

• The total over 1.5 goals has occurred in 12 consecutive Atletico matches.
• Atletico concedes in both halves in 5 out of the last 6 away matches.
• Atletico has not won in 8 out of the last 9 away matches.

Referee and fouls

The match will be officiated by Javier Alberola Rojas. Over the last 10 matches, he has averaged 24.8 fouls but has been lenient towards players, showing only 2.7 yellow cards. However, for the season, the referee has similar statistics - 24.72 and 3.22, respectively.

Mallorca is one of the most fouling teams in Spain, which dictates its strategy for the match. On average, it commits 16.7 fouls. It's no surprise that it also accumulates a lot of yellow cards - 2.9.

Atletico commits fewer fouls - on average 13 times, but also has a significant number of yellow cards - 2.4.

The referee has been showing fewer yellow cards recently, but in the upcoming match, he will have to spoil his statistics a bit since the teams will definitely not go easy on each other. Therefore, we highlight the bet Yellow cards - Total over (3.5) at 1.8.

Corners

• The total under 9.5 corners has occurred in 6 out of the last 7 away matches for Atletico.
• The total under 8.5 corners has occurred in 5 consecutive matches for Mallorca.
• Mallorca has had fewer than 4.5 corners in 5 consecutive matches.

The game is likely to be bogged down in midfield or around Mallorca's penalty area. In such a scenario, not many corners are expected. The bet on Corners - Total under (9.5) is valued with odds of 1.66.

Team overviews

Mallorca scores little (only Cadiz has fewer goals). Nonetheless, with such gameplay, it became a finalist in the Copa del Rey and had every chance for the trophy. But after that, there were no victories in the championship, although the team failed to score only against Real Madrid. Atletico concedes in 10 out of the last 11 away La Liga matches. Therefore, the hosts can certainly make their mark. The Mallorca Total goals over (0.5) bet is valued at 1.56.

Atletico plays well at home, but away, the team has only gained 18 points in 16 matches. This is the worst season under Simeone if only this indicator is considered. Atletico has not won in 8 out of the last 9 away matches, but it has made more than 4.5 shots on target over the same period. We suggest an option Shots on target - Atletico Total over (4.5) at 1.91.

Editorial prediction

Mallorca achieves good results at home. It's hard to break through, but Atletico will try to do it. Without Griezmann, the game will become slightly easier, which may affect corners. The Madrid team has had more than 4.5 corners in 5 consecutive head-to-head matches. Therefore, Corners - Atletico Total over (4.5) at 2.02 is our key bet.
