Mallorca will host Rayo Vallecano at the Estadi de Son Moix on Sunday in the final round of the 2022-23 La Liga campaign.
The home side have had mixed results in the league of late but have since guaranteed top-flight safety. They were beaten 3-0 by champions Barcelona in their last game, falling behind in the opening minute of the game before a red card to Amath Ndiaye 13 minutes later sealed their fate.
Mallorca sit with 12th in the La Liga standings with 47 points picked so far. They can leapfrog their weekend opponents with maximum points on Sunday and they will now be looking to do just that.
Vallecano have had their struggles this season but are now looking to seal a top-half league finish on closing day. They beat Villarreal 2-1 in their last game with Raul de Tomas and Isi Palazon getting on the scoresheet before their opponents registered a late consolation goal.
The visitors sit mid-table in 10th place with 49 points from 37 games. They will be looking to build on their latest result this weekend and close out their season on a positive note.
