Mallorca vs Atlético Madrid Match Preview
Michael Laudrup's Mallorca could face relegation if the Bermellon squad fails to defeat Atletico this Saturday at the Iberostar Stadium. Atletico has confirmed its presence in the next edition of the Europa League, and their goal for this final game is to claim La Liga's fifth position.
A victory of the visitors will deliver a fatal blow to Mallorca, if Getafe, Deportivo and Osasuna claim at least one point, and Zaragoza defeats Levante. For such a vital clash, Laudrup recovers Chori Dominguez, Jonathan de Guzmán and Sergio Tejera, while Atletico's coach Quique Sanchez Flores confirmed Diego Forlan and Jose Antonio Reyes will not be part of the starting eleven in its last game as Colchonero's coach.
"I want to leave with Atletico in Europe. I wish the best to my successor, and I want him to enjoy the tranquility I didn't have when I came here" said Sanchez Flores. This might be the last opportunity to watch Sergio Aguero and David De Gea wearing Atletico's shirt. Aguero is only two goals away from scoring his 100th goal with Atletico.
Atletico should take advantage of Mallorca's desperate situation to secure the three points, can Laudrup's Bermellones defy Atletico and secure the three points?
