The 2021-22 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of important matches this weekend as Rayo Vallecano lock horns with Mallorca at the Iberostar Stadium on Saturday.
Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano Preview
Mallorca are currently in 18th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to impose themselves in the top flight so far this season. The hosts held Sevilla to a commendable 0-0 stalemate in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, are in 12th place in the league table at the moment and have slumped after an excellent start to their La Liga campaign. The Madrid-based outfit suffered a damaging 5-1 defeat at the hands of Villarreal last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
