Mallorca vs Real Madrid – What You Need to Know Before Kickoff

If you’re scrolling for the next La Liga showdown, Mallorca taking on Real Madrid is a must‑watch. The game promises drama: a solid mid‑table side meets a giant that’s chasing the title. Below you’ll find the basics – date, time, venue, key players, recent form and how to catch it live.

When and Where Does It Happen?

The clash is set for Saturday, 22 September 2025 at 20:00 CAT. It will be played at the Son Moix stadium in Palma. The venue holds about 23,000 fans, so you’ll see a lively atmosphere even if the crowd isn’t full.

Team Form and Possible Line‑ups

Real Madrid comes into this match on a five‑game winning streak in La Liga. Their attack is led by Vinícius Júnior, who’s scored eight goals so far, while Luka Modrić pulls the strings from midfield. Expect a 4‑3‑3 with Courtois between the sticks.

Mallorca, on the other hand, has been solid at home, winning three of their last four matches at Son Moix. Striker Luka Jović is their main threat, and a midfield duo of Anaïes Moussaoui and Juan Muñiz could try to disrupt Madrid’s rhythm.

Injuries matter: Real may miss midfielder Toni Kroos, while Mallorca is doubtful about defender Pedro Bigas. Coaches will tweak formations accordingly, but the core of each side should stay intact.
