Will Real Madrid keep pace with Barcelona, who are threatening to run away at the top of the table.

On Thursday night, los Blancos swatted aside Valencia 2-0 at Bernabéu, thanks to Marco Asensio’s rocket and then Vinícius Júnior’s cool finish.

However, having only won four of their last eight La Liga matches, Carlo Ancelotti’s team are five points below Barça at the half-way point of the season.

Next week, the European champions will be in Morocco for the Club World Cup, facing Al Ahly or Seattle Sounders in the semi-finals on Wednesday.

Thus, with this their last league game for ten days, Real Madrid will be desperate to avoid a slip-up in the Balearic Islands.

Hosts RCD Mallorca meanwhile start the weekend in tenth place, a vast improvement on last season when they only survived on the final day.

Javier Aguirre’s side were beaten 2-0 by strugglers Cádiz in their last outing, but do remain imperious at home.

Mallorca have won each of their last three fixtures at Son Moix, beating Atlético Madrid, Celta Vigo and Valladolid, all by the same 1-0 scoreline.

Also, back in 2019, los Bermellones defeated Real Madrid by that same scoreline, although, admittedly, they’ve lost all four meetings since, conceding 15 times.

Will the champions leave Palma with three more points on the board?
