Rayo Vallecano vs RCD Mallorca Prediction 24 May 2025
Added on 23 May, 2025
The penultimate day of the La Liga season continues in Madrid, where Rayo Vallecano will host Mallorca in a matchup between two mid-table sides with contrasting recent motivations.
Rayo have shown resilience since their heavy 0:3 loss to Atletico, bouncing back impressively with wins over Getafe (1:0), Las Palmas (1:0), and Celta Vigo (2:1), along with a spirited 2:2 draw against Betis. That surge has propelled them to eighth place with 51 points and a goal difference of 41:45, keeping their hopes for a potential European spot alive, depending on other results.
Mallorca, in contrast, appear to be winding down a solid, if unspectacular, campaign. Currently tenth with 47 points and a goal record of 35:44, the Islanders have slipped out of contention for European qualification. Their recent form reflects that drop in intensity, with narrow defeats to Barcelona (0:1), Girona (0:1), Real Madrid (1:2), and Getafe (1:2), alongside a lone win against relegated Valladolid (2:1).
Given Rayo’s stronger motivation and recent uptick in form, they seem better positioned to take all three points at home. Mallorca, with nothing left to fight for, have struggled to maintain intensity and focus—making them vulnerable to a side still chasing a tangible goal. A home win appears the most likely outcome.
