For a Spanish Super Cup semifinal meeting with RCD Mallorca, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti will make a number of changes to his starting XI.

Real Madrid take on Mallorca today in Jeddah today, with a place in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona on Sunday up for grabs. Defending champs Madrid beat Atlético Madrid in last year's final and will be hoping to take a step closer to retaining the trophy as Carlo Ancelotti's side look to add it to the FIFA Intercontinental Cup title they have already won so far this season.
