Real Madrid will entertain Mallorca at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this Sunday as they look to secure all three points at home in La Liga. Los Blancos managed to earn an impressive 3-0 win away at Celtic earlier this month. Hence, we can expect them to fancy their chances of securing maximum points this weekend.
Real Madrid vs Mallorca: Talking Tactics
Carlo Ancelotti will set his team up in a 4-3-3 formation and will be forced to make some changes to his first XI. The Italian tactician could instruct his men to dominate the ball and create enough clear-cut chances to win this game.
Javier Aguirre will opt for a 5-3-2 formation and is expected to ask his players to defend in numbers and try to stay in the contest for as long as possible.

Both Eduardo Camavinga and Toni Kroos need to carry most of the creative burden for the Madrid giants in the opponent’s half.
