Mallorca's struggles continued with a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Elche last time out. Despite Pablo Torre handing them a second-half lead, Martin Demichelis' troops crumbled under pressure, conceding twice in just nine minutes to surrender all three points.
Tasked to steer the hosts out of the deep waters of relegation, Demichelis will be in charge of his fourth game for the Palma outfit this weekend, one which will definitely test his side's resolve.
Real Madrid have conceded fewer goals than any other team in La Liga this season.
The newly appointed coach is eyeing what will be his second win since taking over the helm early last month. He does have a bit of luck on the injury front, as only Jan Salas (ligament) and Marash Kumbulla (muscle) are confirmed to be in bad shape for this encounter.
Vedat Muriqi will be eager to put the heartbreak of Kosovo’s failed World Cup bid behind him as he renews his quest to haul Mallorca out of the relegation zone. The veteran forward has been a rare bright spark for the hosts, netting 18 goals in 28 games, a tally that sees him trailing only Kylian Mbappe in the race for the Pichichi Trophy.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, signed off for the international break in spectacular fashion, edging local rivals Atletico Madrid 3-2 to extend their winning streak across all competitions to five games.
Jude Bellingham has recovered from an injury but is unlikely to start as Alvaro Arbeloa is being careful not to rush him back into the starting XI. Star man Vinicius Junior reported slight discomfort in his thigh area during the March international break and could be rested.
In-form Federico Valverde is suspended for this game following his controversial sending off in the Madrid derby, even as Dani Ceballos (calf), Ferland Mendy (muscle), Rodrygo Goes (ligament) and Thibaut Courtois (thigh) are definitely ruled out with injuries.
Real Madrid have scored 12 penalty goals - the most in the Spanish top flight this campaign.
Key midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni appeared to have picked up a slight muscular problem while on duty for France, and he's expected to have a final assessment to ascertain his fitness for this clash alongside Raul Asencio (muscle) and Eder Militao (hamstring).
Leading scorer Kylian Mbappe should be back in the starting XI, with Thiago Pitarch, Brahim Diaz and Arda Guler also fancied to start.

Whispers Predicts: Mallorca 1-2 Real Madrid
At 1.60, Real Madrid are considered favourites by the bookies, and considering their excellent track record against Mallorca, we are confident that the visitors will emerge victorious.
However, it's worth mentioning that Los Blancos have a crucial UEFA Champions League clash with Bayern Munich just three days later.
With Arbeloa likely to rotate his squad to preserve his stars for Tuesday, Real Madrid may prioritise efficiency over flair, making a narrow victory a far more likely outcome at Son Moix.
Furthermore, Real Madrid have kept only one clean sheet in their five-game winning streak, so Real Madrid & BTTS - Yes at 3.10 could be worth a punt.
> BTTS - Yes at 1.77 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 2.5 goals at 1.68 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result - Real Madrid at 1.60 | Likelihood: Probable
> Real Madrid & BTTS - Yes at 3.10 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score: 1-2 at 8.20 | Likelihood: Outsider
