16:15
Prediction: 1-0
Mallorca
Following a goalless draw with Cadiz, Rayo Vallecano will look to extend their unbeaten run to four games when they take on Mallorca on Saturday afternoon. The capital club have been impressive at the back of late and we are positive that they will rely on their solid defence against los Bermellones as well. Keep in mind, though, that defender Khalid Abdul Mumin is banned for the match.
Mallorca, on the other hand, did well to hold title hopefuls Barcelona to a 2-2 draw in midweek, but given their difficulties on the road, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of spoiling Rayo’s party in Madrid. Pablo Maffeo is banned for the match, while fellow defender Antonio Raillo has yet to overcome an ankle injury. In their last meeting at the venue Mallorca defeated Rayo 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
