Kick-Off: 8:00 PM
Mallorca have enjoyed a rather moderately successful season. The hosts are probably going to avoid the relegation places, although they still need the results to mathematically ensure this is the case. The hosts narrowly missed out on the chance to play European Football, having lost the final of the Copa del Rey on penalties to Athletic Bilbao.
After 33 games played Mallorca are 16th place in La Liga with 32 points. The home side sit six points clear of 18th-placed Cadiz with five games to go, meaning a minimum of two wins could guarantee their safety from the drop.
As for the visitors, Atletico Madrid will be looking to strengthen their position in the top four towards the end of the season. The away side is six points clear of Athletic Bilbao who are in fifth place.
Atletico Madrid would ideally need a minimum of two wins from their remaining five fixtures to secure another season in the Champions League. In the previous league meeting between the two sides, Atletico Madrid were 1-0 winners thanks to Antoine Griezmann.
