I already talked about how Real Madrid are expected to rotate in this match, and how I don't fully expect that to change the outcome of this match, but I also don't expect it to change the amount of goals we'll see. Mallorca's defense isn't good enough to stop Real Madrid from scoring. This over has hit in five straight from Madrid, and in eight in their last 10. I expect Madrid to score at least two goals here, and are possible of covering this over entirely by themselves.
I know that Real Madrid have to worry about Bayern Munich coming up just a few days after this match, but here's the thing. I believe that even if Real Madrid rotate heavily, and I'm talking rotate 5-7 of their starting XI, they will still win this matchup against a Mallorca side who is floundering in the relegation zone. Madrid can't afford to let up with the title race against Barcelona being so close, and they have the depth to get a big and important three points.
