The Riyadh Air Metropolitano sets the stage for an intriguing La Liga battle as Atletico Madrid hosts Mallorca in Round 22 on Saturday, February 1, 2025. Diego Simeone’s men will aim to maintain their stronghold on the league standings, while Mallorca looks to pull off an upset and turn their fortunes around.

Atletico Madrid Form and Performance

Atletico Madrid has been in strong form leading up to this clash. They have secured three wins in their last five matches, scoring 12 goals while conceding just four. Their notable performances include:

• 4-1 win against Salzburg in the Champions League
• 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen
• 1-1 draw against Villarreal
• 4-0 thrashing of Elche
• 1-0 loss to Leganes

Simeone’s side boasts one of the best defensive records in the league, and their attacking efficiency has been impressive. With key players performing at a high level, they will be favorites to dominate the game.

Mallorca’s Struggles in Recent Matches

Mallorca, on the other hand, has endured a rough patch in recent weeks. They have managed just two wins in their last five outings while suffering three heavy defeats:

• 1-0 win against Getafe
• 3-0 loss to Real Madrid
• 4-0 loss to Villarreal
• 3-0 defeat to Pontevedra (Copa del Rey)
• 1-0 loss to Real Betis

Mallorca’s defense has been leaky, conceding 11 goals in their last five games. With only two different goal scorers in those matches, their attack has been underwhelming, making this a tough challenge against a strong Atletico Madrid side.
