Rayo Vallecano will welcome Mallorca to Estadio de Vallecas in La Liga on Saturday. Vallecano, eighth in the standings, are level on points with ninth-placed Osasuna. They need to win this match to finish at least eighth and secure a place in Europe next season. The visitors need a win to finish 10th.
The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten run in May, winning three of their four games. They met Celta Vigo last week and registered a 2-1 comeback away win. Isi Palazón equalized in the 17th minute, and Jorge de Frutos, assisted by Florian Lejeune, scored the match-winner in added time of the first half.
Los Piratas have seen a drop in form recently, winning just one of their last six league games. They suffered a second consecutive defeat last week as they fell to a 2-1 home loss to Getafe. Cyle Larin bagged a consolation goal in stoppage time, with Sergi Darder picking up his sixth assist of the league campaign.
