Match Time & Date:

19:30
Prediction: 2-0
Mallorca
Rayo Vallecano play host to Mallorca at their Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in what is expected to be an interesting La Liga game. Los Vallecanos made a promising start to the season, with the team sharing the spoils with Barca, while beating Espanyol on the road. The capital club aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at los Bermellones.
Defender Florian Lejeune is out of contention through suspension for the home side, while all Diego Lopez, Santi Comesana, and Andres Martin should miss out with injuries. Los Bermellones, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Real Betis, but given Rayo’s fine start to the season, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Both Dominik Greif and Ndiaye Diedhiou should miss out through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Radamel Falcao):
Radamel Falcao, nicknamed the “Colombian Tiger”, is considered one of the best players in the history of Colombian football. The 177-cm-tall attacker is well known for his brilliant finishing and his header technique gives him an advantage in aerial battles with opposition defenders.
Falcao was born in Santa Marta, Colombia on 10 February, 1986 and he started his senior career at Lanceros Boyaca. He played for Argentine giants River Plate between 2005 and 2009 and in 2009 he joined Porto. After scoring 41 goals in 51 league appearances for the Dragons, Falcao signed for Atletico Madrid on 18 August 2011 for a fee of €40 million.
The Colombian attacker helped los Rojiblancos win Europa League trophy in 2012, scoring 12 goals in the process. He played for Monaco in the 2013/2014 Ligue 1 campaign and in 2014 he signed a loan deal with Manchester United. He scored just 4 goals in 26 league appearances for the Red Devils and was later loaned to Chelsea before returning to Stade Louis II.
Highlighted Team (Mallorca):
Thanks to a win over Deportivo La Coruna in the 2018/2019 Segunda Division play-offs final Mallorca secured promotion to Primera Division. Los Bermellones returned to the Spanish top flight following a six-year absence. Over the years Mallorca have turned their Estadi de son Moix into a real fortress, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels.
Opened in June 1999, the venue can hold up to 23,142 people. The club based in Balearic Islands are well known for their red shirts with one black stripe and black shorts. Mallorca’s away colours are white and red. Former Barcelona and Inter ace Samuel Eto’o is undisputedly the most notable footballer who played for the club.
Back in 1999 Mallorca made it to the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup final, with the team suffering a 2-1 loss to Lazio in the title game. Four years later los Bermellones won Spanish Copa del Rey, which is considered the club’s biggest success.
