Head to Head
Real Madrid maintains a 24-11 advantage with five draws from their 40 previous encounters against Real Mallorca. Los Blancos have been particularly successful in recent meetings, winning four of the last five fixtures, including a convincing 4-1 victory in the latest encounter at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

Team Analysis
Kicking off the new year with a midweek La Liga clash against Real Mallorca, Real Madrid enters the game on a positive note after concluding 2023 in impressive fashion. Positioned at the top of the standings, Los Blancos have been formidable throughout the season, demonstrating their dominance, especially at home. Real Madrid's quest to reclaim the La Liga title appears on track, with only one defeat across all competitions in 2023 and a notable balance of being among the top scorers while maintaining the best defense in the Spanish topflight. The team secured a 1-0 victory at Alaves in their final fixture of 2023, courtesy of Lucas Vazquez's 90th-minute effort. Carlo Ancelotti's squad has triumphed in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, with the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu proving to be an impenetrable fortress. Notably, some of their significant victories, such as a 5-1 win over Valencia and a 4-1 triumph over Villarreal, have occurred in front of their home fans.

Real Mallorca, after a challenging start to the season, found their rhythm towards the end of 2023. They enter the clash unbeaten in their last five La Liga matches, securing two wins in that period. Concluding the year on a high, Real Mallorca claimed a 3-2 victory over Osasuna in their previous La Liga fixture, overcoming a goal deficit with contributions from Matija Nastasic, Dani Rodriguez, and Raillo. However, Real Mallorca faces a significant challenge on the road, having secured just one La Liga win away from home this season. Javier Aguirre's side has suffered three losses in their last four away matches, failing to find the net in all four fixtures.

Conclusion
With Real Madrid aiming for a clean sheet on Wednesday, a bet on them to secure a win to nil could be favorable. Given their quality in attack and the anticipation of multiple goals, considering a -2 handicap might also be worth considering. Real Madrid is expected to be dominant on Wednesday, making them favorable candidates to score in both halves.
