📋 Team News: Rayo Vallecano

There is just the lone fitness concern for the Rayo Vallecano gaffer Iñigo Pérez to be concerned about from an otherwise complete squad. Abdul Mumin (Knee injury) won’t play.

It looks as if Franjirrojos will probably go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one, handing starts to Augusto Batalla, Andrei Ratiu, Florian Lejeune, Aridane Hernandez, Pep Chavarria, Pathe Ciss, Unai Lopez, Jorge de Frutos, Isi Palazon, Adrian Embarba and Alvaro Garcia.

📰 Team News: Mallorca

Mallorca boss Jagoba Arrasate has multiple availability issues to deal with. Robert Navarro (Adductor injury) and Manu Morlanes (Hamstring injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We’re of the thinking that Los Bermellones will likely utilise a 3-2-4-1 formation, going with Ivan Cuellar, Martin Valjent, Antonio Raillo, Jose Copete, Mateu Morey, Johan Mojica, Daniel Rodriguez, Omar Mascarell, Samu, Sergi Darder and Vedat Muriqi.

✨ Prediction

Our thinking is that Rayo Vallecano look set to get amongst the goals when they line up against Mallorca, who will not find it easy to find the back of the net.

We’re therefore expecting to see a 2-0 margin for Rayo Vallecano at the conclusion of the game.
