Mallorca Team News
Los Bermellones stand on the way to this fixture for significant challenges, which is currently in the 19th position in the La Liga table with just one point of their opening of four games.
Manager Jagoba Arrasate could be without midfielder Javi Llabrés, who remains offside with a hamstring injury in August. The Balearic Islanders have struggling defensively this season and admitted nine goals in four games while they managed to score only four.
Striker Vedat Muriqi has been a bright spot for Mallorca, three goals scored all this campaign and ensures the most important attacking threat of the team. The Kosovo International will be crucial for their chances of achieving a positive result on the side of Diego Simeone.
Atletico Madrid Team News
Atletico Madrid introduces this competition with various injury problems after their recent Champions League meeting with Liverpool. The most important striker Julian Alvarez is doubtful with knee discomfort during the Villarreal victory. Diego Simeone confirmed that Jose Maria Gimenez, Alex Baena and Thiago Almada will all miss the trip to Palma because of muscle injuries.
The positive news for Los Colchoneros is that Robin Le Normand and Nicolas Gonzalez are fine and available. Antoine Griezmann remains a key figure in attack alongside Alexander Sorloth, who will probably lead the border if Alvarez is excluded.
Atletico Madrid will want to forget their heartache in the midweek against Liverpool. The 92nd minute Header of Virgil van Dijk condemned Atleti to beat in Anfield.
Form
Mallorca
The side of Jagoba Arrasate has passed a difficult start of the 2025/26 campaign, so they won none of their opening of four games. Their most recent outing saw them suffer a disappointing 3-2 defeat against Espanyol. The defeat emphasized their defensive weaknesses, where the team gave late goals that cost them valuable points. Their only point so far came in a 1-1 draw with Celta Vigo at home.
The struggles of the Balearic side are clearly in their competition position and are second of the soil with a target difference of -5, although they have had to deal with challenging opposition in Barcelona, Real Madrid and Celta Vigo, but will still be disappointed that they have not picked up more points.
Atletico Madrid
The men of Diego Simeone finally insured their first victory of the season with a crucial 2-0 home win against Villarreal. Prior to that breakthrough, they had only managed two draws and had had a defeat in their opening fixtures. Currently in the 11th position with five points of four games.
Their recent form shows signs of improvement, after having held a clean slate against Villarreal. Inconsistency, however, has been their most important problem, where the team has difficulty finding their rhythm under the tactical approach of Simeone.
Predicted line -Ups
Mallorca: Novel; Maffeo, Valgin, Raillo, Mojica; Darder, Mask, Rodriguez; Dani Rodriguez, Lari.
Atletico Madrid: Oblak; Lorent, the Normans, Law, Ruggers; Simeone, Gonzalez, Cola, Barrios; Griezmann, Sorloth.
