Real Madrid begin their title La Liga defence on Sunday, August 18 as they take on Mallorca at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix.

Los Blancos captured the double last season, winning the Spanish League as well as the UEFA Champions League. They began the 2024-25 season on a high too, beating Atalanta 2-0 on Wednesday in the UEFA Super Cup. That match also marked the much-anticipated competitive debut of French star Kylian Mbappe.

Mallorca, who allowed Madrid only a slender 1-0 win in their previous meeting, finished 15th in the La Liga 2023-24.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Mallorca subs: Roman, Cuellar, Mateu, Lato, Copete, Heyden, Morlanes, Abdon, Larin, Antonio Sanchez, Domenech, Luna

Ancelotti has not tinkered with the team that started the UEFA Super Cup win over Atalanta. That means the newly nicknamed ‘BMV’ triumvirate of Jude BellinghamKylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior will start. Mbappe, of course, will be making his La Liga debut.

Rodrygo started on the right win against Atalanta and keeps his place ahead of Arda GulerAurelien Tchouameni and Federico Valverde will anchor the midfield again in the absence of the injured Eduardo Camavinga.

Mallorca vs. Real Madrid prediction

Mallorca, under the stewardship of like Assarte, are certainly capable of putting up a strong fight against Los Blancos.

However, Carlo Ancelotti’s side has the firepower to break down the best of teams. The arrival of Mbappe has given a new dimension to their attack, which already has a formidable line-up that includes Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Mallorca
