Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: Don’t expect very productive match

One of the matches on Matchday 38 of the Spanish La Liga will be between Mallorca and Rayo Vallecano. The home side have no tournament motivation, while Rayo still retain a slim chance of securing seventh place, which, following Real Madrid's victory in the Spanish Cup, has become a Eurocup title.

Mallorca is a domestic team. They have four away defeats in their last eight games, one home draw, and three home victories. At the start of the 38th round, Mallorca is 12th and 8 points ahead of relegation side Valladolid. Mallorca will not drop below 12th place, but they can still rise ahead of several teams. The Mallorca side has the eighth-best home statistics in the division, +9=5-4, 19:12 goal difference.

After three straight defeats to Betis, Espanyol, and Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano returned from a 2:1 home defeat to Villarreal. That win lifts the Bees to 10th place and keeps their chances of finishing seventh, which is only claimed by Athletic, Girona, and Sevilla. Sevilla is unlikely to play hard to get after the Europa League Final; Athletic has an away game at the Santiago Bernabeu, while Osasuna and Girona will be playing each other, and most likely, this game will decide the fate of seventh place. Rayo's away statistics are 11th in the division, +4=5-9, 17:28 goal difference.

Mallorca is often unproductive at home, while Rayo is superior, as you can see from their statistics. Mallorca is a home team. The Islanders have not lost in a long time, while the boys from the capital have a four-match losing streak. Despite the lack of tournament motivation, we believe that Mallorca won't lose on Sunday, mainly since not everything depends on Rayo fighting for seventh place.
