They salvaged their first point against Celta Vigo last time out, thanks to a late equaliser from Mateu Morey.Probable lineups for Real Madrid vs Real MallorcaReal Madrid expected lineup: Courtois, Carreras, Huijsen, Rudiger, Carvajal, Tchouameni, Valverde, Guler, Vinicius, Mbappe, MastantuonoReal Mallorca expected lineup: Roman, Kumbulla, Raillo, Valjent, Mojica, Darder, Morlanes, Morey, Torre, Muriqi, JosephCourtois to shut out the IslandersIn Real Madrid’s opening two games of the season, Thibaut Courtois spent large stretches as little more than a spectator in goal. He wasn’t required to make a single save against a cautious Osasuna side, while the Belgian was rarely tested in Asturias last weekend. Those confident in another quiet night for Courtois might explore the markets available on trusted Online Betting Sites for clean sheet bets.Dani Carvajal is back from injury, and Antonio Rudiger is available again following a six-game ban. Those factors have contributed to Los Blancos appearing much stronger defensively than during the final days of Carlo Ancelotti’s reign.They seem capable of keeping another clean sheet here. Mallorca averaged only 0.92 goals per 90 minutes last term in La Liga. While the aerial prowess of their frontman Vedat Muriqi remains a concern, it’s hard to see him getting much service in this fixture.Real Madrid vs Real Mallorca Bet 1: Real Madrid to win to nil at odds of 1.85 on StakeVisitors to keep the score downMallorca’s main strength lies in their defensive organisation. They are likely to start with an extra centre-back in this game, with Marash Kumbulla potentially coming in to support Antonio Raillo and Martin Valjent. Those two share a strong understanding, while their goalkeeper Leo Roman saved an impressive 81.6% of the shots he faced in La Liga last term.That may not be enough for them to come away with a result here, but they could at least frustrate their hosts. Real Madrid are clearly in a state of transition, as Alonso is trying to implement his ideas, and they’ve not hit top gear yet.We saw some encouraging attacking glimpses when Vinicius Junior came on in Oviedo last Sunday. However, Real created less than 1.00 xG from open play in their first home game, and appear unlikely to completely dominate the fixture. Real Madrid vs Real Mallorca Bet 2: Under 2.5 goals at odds of 2.38 on StakeMbappe to strike first againOne major positive for Real Madrid so far is that Kylian Mbappe has been sharp from the start, despite only going through a brief pre-season.The Frenchman has scored three of his team’s four goals, including the opener in both of their matches. That continues the upward trajectory he has been on since a difficult start to his time in the Spanish capital.Averaging a goal every 91 minutes in his La Liga career to date, Mbappe is comfortably the most likely candidate to score first in this game.Madridistas would have been delighted to see him link up with Vinicius for his second goal at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere. If those two manage to build a stronger understanding under new management, Mbappe could surpass the 31-goal haul from his debut season in the Primera Division.Real Madrid vs Real Mallorca Bet 3: Kylian Mbappe to score first at odds of 2.90 on Stake
