Mallorca vs Real Madrid - La Liga: TV channel, team news, lineups & prediction
By Chris Smith
Real Madrid continue their pursuit of La Liga leaders Barcelona when they travel to the island of Mallorca on Sunday afternoon.
Los Blancos currently trail in the table by five points after winning just two of their last four league outings. But with half the campaign still to go, it wouldn't take much for the Spanish title race to be blown wide open again.
Madrid have their FIFA Club World Cup campaign on the horizon, so they'll hope to catch mid-table and inconsistent Mallorca on one of their off days to avoid any unnecessary exertions before then.
Here's everything you need to know about the match:

Mallorca vs Real Madrid score prediction
Real Madrid haven't been absolutely convincing in the league over recent weeks and with the Club World Cup coming up, Ancelotti faces a battle to keep his players fit and fully focused.
That said, Los Blancos have won each of their last four games against Mallorca, who seem incapable of taking two consecutive steps forward this season.
They'll be tested, but Real Madrid will ultimately return to the Spanish mainland with all three points.
Prediction: Mallorca 1-2 Real Madrid
