Real Madrid's 2025 season started on a high note as they snatched a 2-1 win over Valencia in La Liga despite Vinicius Junior being sent off. Luka Modric became the oldest player to score for the club, highlighting his importance even in the twilight of his career. Carlo Ancelotti's side continue to show their depth despite injury problems after playing three games in a week.
Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup last season, beating arch-rivals Barcelona 4-1 in the final. Without key defenders David Alaba, Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao, https://www.realmadrid.com/en-US target=_blank rel=noopener>Real are struggling to find a way to strengthen their squad as soon as possible. However, their main goal is to defend their Spanish Super Cup title, and to do so they must beat last season's Copa del Rey finalists Mallorca.

Mallorca
SpainCurrent form
Mallorca enter the Spanish Super Cup semi-finals after a shock 3-0 defeat to Pontevedra in the Copa del Rey. That defeat last week was a disappointment, especially considering Javier Aguirre's men finished 2024 with two La Liga titles.
Despite this, the team will be looking to bounce back and put their best foot forward against a formidable opponent.

However, Mallorca have only won once in their last eight meetings with the Madrid side, highlighting the difficulty of the upcoming match.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mallorca will be without several key players against Real: Asano (thigh injury), Larin (knee injury), Maffeo (muscle injury) and Muriqui (muscle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- In Mallorca's last six matches in all competitions, the second half has been more productive
- Abdon Prats has become a versatile attacking player, alternating goals with penalties and headers, making him a threat to opposing defences
Estimated lineup: Greif - Mojica, Copete, Raillo, Morey - Pichu, Darder, Samu, Morlanes, Gomez - Prats

Bet on the outcome
The semi-final clash between Real Madrid and Mallorca in the Spanish Super Cup promises to be an exciting one, but the difference in quality between the teams is clear. Real are in excellent form, regularly showing off a powerful attack and high scoring performance. After beating Valencia in La Liga, they will be looking to extend their dominance and reach the final. Mallorca, on the other hand, are struggling, especially against the top clubs. Their defence often makes mistakes under pressure, which could be disastrous against a formidable opponent like Real. Given Real’s attacking prowess and their ability to create numerous scoring chances, they can be expected to control the game and secure a comfortable victory.

Betting on shots on target
Given the attacking potential of both teams, especially Real Madrid, we can expect a significant number of shots on goal. Real often dominates these games, creating many dangerous moments. In recent games, they regularly made more than 10 shots on target, and this match should be no exception. Mallorca, despite their status as underdogs, can respond with counterattacks and try their hand at rare forays to the opponent's goal. Therefore, the overall number of shots on target can exceed the average for such matches.
Betting Tip - total shots on target over 11.5, bet with odds of 1.90
