Preview: Mallorca vs. Real Madrid

Mallorca have the opportunity to go level on points with La Liga champions Real Madrid when they welcome Jose Mourinho's side to the Iberostar on Sunday.

While the home side sit just three points behind fourth-placed Madrid in the league table, Joaquin Caparros's men head into this fixture on the back of three defeats in a row.

Meanwhile, Madrid will be searching for consistency as they already face a battle to retain the league title due to their eight-point gap behind leaders and fierce rivals Barcelona.

Tomer Hemed, Victor and Giovani dos Santos should make up the forward three for Mallorca, while Mourinho could opt for Luka Modric in midfield, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Angel di Maria and Karim Benzema leading the line for the Spanish giants.
