The Militão Comeback — A Calculated Return
Real Madrid defender Eder Militão has completed three consecutive full training sessions — Wednesday through Friday — and is expected to see some minutes against Mallorca. However, Arbeloa is unlikely to start him, preferring a cautious reintegration: “I like players, after injuries, to reintegrate progressively.” The plan is to give him bench minutes here with a bigger role in mind for the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich.

Head-to-Head & Match Prediction
This will be the 77th meeting between Real Madrid and Mallorca. Los Blancos dominate the all-time record with 47 wins, compared to Mallorca’s 16 victories and 13 draws. Mallorca are currently in the relegation zone in 18th place — one point behind safety — making this a desperate must-not-lose fixture for Demichelis’ side.
The battle of La Liga’s top two strikers adds intrigue — Mallorca’s Vedat Muriqi has scored 18 league goals this season, while Kylian Mbappé remains Madrid’s most dangerous weapon in attack. Business Standard
Prediction: Real Madrid to win 2–0. Mallorca’s relegation anxiety plus Madrid’s quality advantage makes Los Blancos firm favourites, even away from the Bernabéu.
