New manager Xabi Alonso has made an impressive start to life at the Santiago Bernabéu, guiding Los Blancos to two wins from their opening fixtures without conceding a goal. The Spanish tactician will be hoping his side can continue their strong form against the Balearic Island visitors.

Kylian Mbappé has settled quickly into the season for Real Madrid, scoring three goals in his first two La Liga appearances. The French superstar netted twice in the recent 3-0 victory over Real Oviedo, alongside Vinícius Júnior, who completed the scoring.

On the injury front, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, and Endrick are all still sidelined and won’t return to training until after the international break at the earliest.

Jagoba Arrasate’s side has made significant summer additions to strengthen their squad for the 2025/26 campaign. Pablo Torre joined permanently from Barcelona for an undisclosed fee, while Mateo Joseph arrived on a season-long loan from Leeds United. The club also secured Lucas Bergström on a free transfer from Chelsea to bolster their goalkeeping options.

The visitors have endured a mixed start to the season, suffering a 3-0 defeat to Barcelona on the opening day before drawing 1-1 with Celta Vigo. Arrasate will be looking for his side to improve their attacking output, having managed just one goal in their two league fixtures so far.
