Joaquin Caparros’ side have already equalled their highest-ever points total after five top-flight games with three wins and two draws and will look to make it their best start with three points at Coliseum Alfonso Perez.

Despite their strong start they are not considered favourites to win the match at 21/10 in the 90 Minutes market, while Getafe can be backed at 6/5 to secure only their second La Liga win of the campaign.

It is clear that Mallorca’s success so far this season has been based around their strong defensive play, emphasised by the fact they have only managed to score seven goals to date, two of which came in their 2-0 win against Valencia last time out, while conceding just three.

Caparros, who is again set to be without Giovani dos Santos, Javi Marquez and Alvaro, will hope his back-line again come up trumps on Monday.

Getafe are languishing down in 17th position, although they have had a difficult start to the campaign with games against the likes of Sevilla and Barcelona, while their only win came against local rivals and reigning champions Real Madrid.

Therefore, Luis Garcia’s side are capable of producing the goods, but the coach has warned against conceding more sloppy goals with ten already shipped in their opening five matches.

Getafe will also be without Alexis Ruano, who begins a two-game ban after his dismissal in the defeat to Celta Vigo last time out.

History is just siding with Mallorca as the Islanders have won ten out of their 20 fixtures, compared to Getafe who have won seven, which again points to a tight game in store.

With Mallorca stingy at the back this game could well be decided by a momentary lapse in the Getafe defence as they are a side which are noted for the scoring abilities with just six on the board to date, so a 1-0 win for the visitors could be worth noting at 15/2 in the Correct Score market.

But we feel a tight game will be reflected in the outcome and both sides should have enough in the tank to collect a hard-earned point from this head-to-head.

It took a goal in the 89th minute on Sunday night from Ronaldo to edge Real Madrid past an Osasuna side they were expected to beat comfortably. After that scare the trip to Mallorca is now looking an even more difficult obstacle in the way of los Blanco’s La Liga quest.

Mallorca have enjoyed a stunning campaign so far this season. They were tipped to be battling relegation at this point in the season, but currently remain in contention for a Champions League place as they continue to hold onto fourth spot with only three rounds of fixtures remaining.

Mallorca’s success has been built on a solid home form, which has seen them win 14 out of their 17 previous matches at the ONO Estadi. Only Sevilla, Villarreal and Barcelona have left Mallorca empty handed this season, and Real Madrid will not take anything for granted as they prepare for what could be the toughest remaining fixture of their season.

Mallorca seem to have hit a rich vein of form in the run up to the conclusion of the season, which is worrying news for Real Madrid.

After Sunday’s result there is the feeling that nothing can stop los Blancos from keeping the pressure on Barcelona until the season is finally over. Mallorca might be at the top of their game, but Madrid are a mission.

It seems Mallorca only relinquish any points at home to the big boys, so Real Madrid should be leaving with all three points and pressure re-applied on Barca in the title race. With no significant injuries for Madrid to worry about, an assured performance should see an away win for the Galacticos.
