Mallorca preview: Impressive Majorcans
Last weekend, under the management of Martin Demichelis, Real Mallorca pulled off a dramatic 2-1 defeat of Real Madrid with a last-gasp winner scored by Kosovo international striker Vedat Muriqi.
The Majorcans have now won two of their last three matches as they try and push themselves away from the bottom three and the relegation places, following the appointment of the former Manchester City centre-back.
Rayo Vallecano preview: Slick Rayo
Rayo Vallecano come into this one on the back of an impressive 3-0 victory over AEK Athens in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final in midweek with goals scored by Ilias Akhomach, Unai Lopez and Isi Palazon.
Rayo may not care about this return to domestic action as they push on into the middle-of-the-table domestically but they will remain a potent threat, even with their eye off the ball at Son Moix.

Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano prediction
Despite off-field issues and their extremely intense style of football with a small squad playing so much football, Inigo Perez has done an excellent job with Rayo as they push themselves clear of any danger and back into European contention once again. They face a Mallorca side, though, that have just about found something and will fancy themselves to get another crucial win as they try to open up a gap between themselves and the danger zone.
Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano tip: Double chance – Mallorca to win or draw
