Team News

Mallorca
Rayo Vallecano
  • Bar Pablo Maffeo, Mallorca can boast of a clean bill of health.
  • Vedat Muriqi could well start alongside Abdon Prats this weekend after having his minutes managed in the cup midweek. Cyle Larin is suspended.
  • Jaume Costa should continue on the left side instead of Toni Lato.
  • Copete played well against Sociedad and might keep his place in the side on Sunday in search of a second consecutive clean sheet.
  • Bebe returns from AFCON duty with Cape Verde.
  • Oscar Trejo could return in the starting lineup after the loss against Sevilla.
  • Miguel Crespo, on loan from Fenerbache, could start his first match in aims to help Rayo turn their poor run of form around.
  • Jorge de Frutos could be a much-needed injection of pace and determination in the side.

Prediction

  • Mallorca host Rayo this weekend following a nail-biting week on the island in which they drew 0-0 with Real Sociedad in the Copa del Rey semi-final first leg.
  • The two sides shared the points last time out in a 2-2 draw. Vedat Muriqi scored in that one and a Falcao penalty late on saved the home fans of embarrassment back in September.
  • Mallorca could move six points from the drop with a victory here and Rayo could catch Osasuna and Alaves in aims of returning to the top half of the table.
  • Rayo, winless in five matches, haven't beaten Mallorca in La Liga since 2021, which is indicative of the significant challenge they face against Javier Aguirre's organised outfit.
