Atletico Madrid left it late to snatch maximum points in the Champions League in midweek, with Angel Correa netting the winner with virtually the last kick of the game against PSG.
That morale-boosting success leaves them in a good position ahead of a return to La Liga action this Sunday. Atletico will be aware that a victory could potentially see them end the round above Real Madrid.
Mallorca will be the big underdogs this weekend. The Spanish hosts have lost two of their last four, and they are without a win in their previous two.
However, a win could send them into the European spots this weekend.
Odds
Atletico Madrid are relatively easy to support this weekend at odds of +138. A home win isn’t discounted at the prices, with Mallorca priced up at +253.
