Rayo Vallecano vs Real Mallorca Preview and Team News

Rayo Vallecano Team News

Rayo Vallecano have not yet secured their qualification for the Conference League, but the 2-1 victory against Celta Vigo was an important step in the fight. The two teams are now neck-and-neck battling for the Europa League, with the latter only one point ahead. 

Rayo conceded a penalty in the 10th minute, but goals from Jorge de Frutos and Isi Palazón overturned the score in the second half. This was crucial for the squad to keep Europa League hopes up. Vallecano have not lost a game in four, drawing with Real Betis (2-2) and claiming victories in must-win matches against Las Palmas (0-1) and Getafe (1-0). 

Jonathan Montiel and Abdul Mumin will be out with injuries, while Sergio Camello is waiting for the green light from medical.

Real Mallorca Team News

Real Mallorca were part of the teams that looked set to qualify for European competitions, but collapsed in the last stretch of the season. 

They’ve only registered one win in their previous five encounters, losing 2-1 to Getafe in a key match last weekend. It was an even game, but the rivals took advantage of the guests’ lack of attention in the second half. Two goals were conceded in 10 minutes.

Mallorca defeated Real Valladolid (2-1), but the lack of squad depth in the last two months has led to a decline in their performance. This explains why they won’t qualify for European competitions. Another reason has been their low investment. The club still rely on Sergi Darder and Vedat Muriqi to score upfront.

Abdon Prats, Chiquinho, and Takuma Asano will be sidelined due to various injuries.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Mallorca Prediction

• Prediction: Draw
• Odds: 4.02 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Real Mallorca 

Rayo Vallecano will come with confidence to their stadium, having defeated Celta Vigo, but we don’t anticipate another victory. The team have lacked consistency throughout the season, and will face the challenge of a deep block stronger than Getafe’s. Mallorca will look to end their season in style, despite missing out on European qualification. 

Nonetheless, an upset is unlikely even though the visitors have all the counter-attacking tools to hurt the hosts, who lack the form and confidence. Mallorca’s low firepower and Vallecano’s home advantage make a draw the expected outcome this Sunday.

Rayo Vallecano vs Real Mallorca Betting Tip

• Pick: Isi Palazón to score
• Odds: 3.4 (22Bet)

Isi Palazón may not have scored in Rayo’s 2-1 victory against Celta, but he was behind most of the offensive animation. His technical skills and innovative mind make him a dangerous forward who regularly enables his teammates to score. 

Against a deep block, his creative skills often unlock free channels, needed for Vallecano to break through.
