Real Madrid is looking up at Barcelona, and once again Los Blancos have a chance to move back into first place in La Liga with another key victory. Barca's win against Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday saw Real Madrid booted from first place, but the Spanish giants host struggling Mallorca on Wednesday with a win needed to reclaim the top spot with the head-to-head tiebreaker. Here's how you can watch the match and what to know:

Storylines

Real Madrid: Sergio Ramos' knee injury is a concern, but even if he doesn't play against Mallorca, Real shouldn't have much of a problem. Expect Real to dominate possession, create a couple really great chances in the first 20 minutes and have this one nearly over by halftime.

Mallorca: Little time left to salvage their season. Three points from safety and with just two wins in their last 10, relegation is looking like a certainty unless they find their groove. One goal in the last five games tells you everything you need to know. They are going to need a minor miracle to pull out even a draw here and might need to benefit from a penalty kick call or something similar to even have a chance.

Prediction

Real's sharpness in attack is evident early as Karim Benzema keeps up his fantastic form. Pick: Real Madrid 4, Mallorca 0
