The Matchday 22 clash in La Liga between Atletico Madrid and Mallorca will take place on February 1 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid. Atletico Madrid vs. Mallorca: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Atletico Madrid
The capital club did not stay long at the top of the Spanish league table. In the last two rounds, Diego Simeone's men suffered a 0-1 away defeat to Leganes and drew 1-1 at home with Villarreal. The team has dropped to second place, trailing Real Madrid by four points. It is also worth noting that Atletico's defense is the best in La Liga, having conceded only 14 goals.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in five of Atletico's previous La Liga matches.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 17 of Atletico's last 20 games in La Liga.
- The club has not won in the first half in six consecutive league matches (3 draws and 3 losses).
Mallorca
The islanders have only played two matches in La Liga this year. The club suffered a 0-4 away defeat to Villarreal and a 0-1 home loss to Betis. Notably, Mallorca lost twice in a row in La Liga this season, but they haven't lost three or more consecutive matches since April 2022. Jagoba Arrasate's team remains in a high sixth place in the standings, ahead of their closest competitor by just one point.
Midfielder Omar Mascarell will miss the match due to suspension.
- The club's uncompromising series in La Liga stands at 10 matches (4 wins and 6 losses).
- At least two goals have been scored in 14 of Mallorca's last 18 league games.
- The number "1" has appeared in the final scoreline in 7 of Mallorca's last 10 La Liga matches.

Atletico Madrid vs. Mallorca: Match Prediction
Atletico has lost the lead in La Liga. The gap to Real Madrid is not yet critical, and there is a chance to reduce it to a minimum, but for this, they should not drop points against lower-ranked opponents. Despite losing points in the last two rounds, it's worth noting that the club had won eight consecutive La Liga matches before that. I'm confident that Diego Simeone's side will secure three points in the upcoming match.
In the last four head-to-head encounters in La Liga, the capital club has consistently emerged victorious. Additionally, in this series of meetings, Mallorca managed to score only one goal. Moreover, Atletico is the only team in the league that has not yet lost at home (8 wins and 3 draws). In the current La Liga season, Mallorca has played six matches against top-5 clubs and has not won any (2 draws and 4 losses). In their only away match against a team from the European competition zone, the islanders faced a heavy defeat, losing 0-4 to Villarreal.
My prediction – Atletico Madrid with a handicap (-1)
