On the night of 11th, the La Liga matches ushered in a key duel, Real Madrid hosted Mallorca. Real Madrid has won all four of their opening matches this season, and also won their last UEFA Europa League match away to Celtic, making it a good start for both La Liga and UEFA Europa League fronts. Despite their attacking prowess, they have often conceded in the first half and have trailed by two goals or more at halftime in three of their last four league games, so 1.5 goals and a half is a good bet.

Last season's double winners Real Madrid are defending their title with almost the same team this season, with new signing young midfielder Cao Yaveney taking over the reins smoothly, thus previously releasing Kasmiru to Manchester United. Real Madrid has won six consecutive matches in the UEFA Super Cup, La Liga and UEFA Europa League, with the double-arrowed Binschmar and Wenceslas Zulia scoring three goals each in La Liga, and Belgian star Xasat finally breaking his goal drought in the last UEFA Europa League match, so the attacking firepower is still strong.
However, Real Madrid's backline is slightly shaky, conceding goals in all four La Liga matches this season, all in the first half, reflecting the team's lack of concentration in the early stages of the game, which can easily give the opponents a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Mallorca not hopeless on the road
Mallorca's four matches this season have resulted in one win, two draws and one loss, which is not outstanding, but two of the away matches have resulted in one win and one draw, including a 2-0 win over Vallecano, and in the last three matches the team has found the scoring feeling, proving that the attacking power is still good. Tonight, they will challenge Real Madrid on the road, although the cards are not equal to the opponents, but they want to steal a point in the first half of the game, maybe it is not as difficult as imagined, and it is possible in the half-time.
