Mallorca vs Rayo Vallecano Match Preview and Predictions

Mallorca will host Rayo Vallecano today, April 12, 2026, at the Estadi Mallorca Son Moix by 3:15 pm WAT.

This is survival football. No jokes. No second chances.

Match Preview & Current Form

For both sides, this match on Matchday 31 is crucial. Nobody wants to be involved in relegation issues.

With 31 points, Mallorca is presently ranked 16th. With 35 points, Rayo Vallecano is marginally ahead in 13th place. They are separated by just four points. Thus, a single victory has the power to alter everything.

Under François Demichelis, Mallorca is beginning to appear like a different team. Recently, the “Pirates” stunned everyone by defeating Real Madrid 2-1 at home.

What’s even more intriguing is that Mallorca has defeated Rayo in their last four league home games. That is not fortunate. Dominance is that.

Conversely, Rayo Vallecano had conflicting feelings going into this game. It’s fantastic that they recently won 3-0 in Europe. The issue, though, is that their away form is dreadful. In their last nine road league games, they have failed to win.

Team News

Mallorca will rely heavily on their main striker Vedat Muriqi, who already has 19 goals this season. He is in hot form and always dangerous in front of goal.

However, they will miss Martin Valjent due to suspension, while a few players are still out injured.

Rayo Vallecano get a small boost with Pathe Ciss returning from suspension. But injuries and doubts around key players like Augusto Batalla and Fran Perez could weaken their squad.

Head-to-Head (H2H) Stats

The last time both teams met, Rayo won 2-1. But history at this stadium tells a different story.

Mallorca have NEVER lost a La Liga home game against Rayo Vallecano. Nine wins and two draws. That’s serious home strength.

Also, Mallorca’s recent matches under Demichelis have been full of goals. Their last four games have all seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals.
