Prediction: 2-0
Mallorca
Atletico Madrid will look to recover from a 1-0 loss to Barcelona when they host Mallorca to their Metropolitano Stadium on Wednesday evening. Los Rojiblancos are eager to cement their spot in top three, and they are seen as hot favourites to win the midweek clash. Both Llorente and Kondogbia are back from suspension, while Reinildo Mandava remains in the recovery room. Memphis Depay will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Los Bermellones, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Celta Vigo and Getafe. Mallorca, though, are not regarded as good travellers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Atletico Madrid’s party at “Wanda Metropolitano”. All Ludwig Augustinsson, Matija Nastasic, and Giovanni Gonzalez remain on the sidelines with injuries. In the first half of the season Mallorca defeated Atletico Madrid, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Mallorca):
Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
