Real Madrid know that their fate is in their own handing in terms of beating Barcelona to the Spanish title this season.
Zinedine Zidane's side will be champions for the first time since 2017 if win their remaining games - or at least match Barca's points total - given they have a superior head-to-head record against their Clasico rivals.
Barca secured a 1-0 home win over Athletic Bilbao on Tuesday to go three points clear at the top, but Real will retake first place if they beat relegation-threatened Mallorca on Wednesday, who recently lost 4-0 at home to Barca.
Date, venue and kick-off time
Real Madrid vs Mallorca will be held at Estadio Alfredo Di Stefano on Wednesday, June 23, with kick-off scheduled for 9:00pm BST.
Prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Mallorca
Given that Mallorca fell 4-0 to Barca in their first game back, Zidane will be confident of victory here. Mallorca have improved since then, but anything other than a routine home win seems like a long shot.
