Mallorca vs Atletico Madrid prediction and betting tips | 9th April 2022

Atleti will look to bounce back from their loss in midweek

Mallorca host Atletico Madrid at the Visit Mallorca Estadi in La Liga on Saturday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.

Mallorca are currently 18th in the league, three points away from safety. Javier Aguirre's side have been in woeful form of late, having lost their last seven consecutive games. It will be a huge ask for them to take anything away from their game against Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are 3rd in the league, tied on points with Barcelona in 2nd. Diego Simeone's side will be going into the game off the back of a 1-0 loss against Manchester City in the Champions League in midweek. They will look to bounce back with a win against Mallorca on Saturday.
