Round 1 in the Spanish Primera started yesterday, and Sevilla Valencia and Athletic Bilbao, already took their three points.
It’s now time for the leaders Real and Barcelona to try to take theirs. Real will be visiting Mallorca, a very familiar opponent for them.
Since they took coach number 1 in the world, Real has done great in the pre-season winning 6 games and drawing only one.Jose Mourinho is Real Madrid’s 15th manager since 1996.
Real Madrid have lost the opening match of the season only once in the last eight years.Mallorca and Real Madrid have met 50 times so far in La Liga: the Blancos lead by 31 wins to 9, 10 draws complete the record.
Real Madrid have won their last two league games at Mallorca scoring seven goals in the process (3-0 and 4-1).
Mallorca’s pre-season has been great as well, winning 5, drawing 1 and losing 1.
In the preview for the Supercup Final I said that Inter was just a team and Mourinho was the real difference, I will say this today as well.
The Betting Verdict?
Real Madrid to win @ 1.43 (Betfair.com): Although the odds are low, they are quite high for teams such as Real Madrid. Knowing that real has lost only 1 in the last 8 opening games, should make you feel comfortable to put a good amount of money here. With Mourinho in charge i think this is Real’s year.
