Rayo Vallecano-Maiorca is a match from the third day of the Spanish La Liga: here’s where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
Rayo Vallecano, with their victory at Espanyol, confirmed what they had shown on their debut, drawing at Camp Nou against Barcelona. And now comes the first home game for the team coached by Iraola, against a Mallorca side that, on paper, should not create any major headaches. At least on paper, of course, because the visitors have a number of players in their squad who are capable of making Vallecano’s side difficult.
Of course there is a favourite team, and it is the one that has scored four points in two matches. Mallorca, on the other hand, are currently stuck with an away draw against Athletic Bilbao on the first day, only to fall at home against Betis. Admittedly, a guest win was expected from this match, but it could also have mentally undermined a team that needs to post useful results to stay afloat psychologically.
The Prediction
A Vallecano victory in this match is very much in order. Majorca, as mentioned, should not create any major problems for Iraola’s team, which is in good shape from a physical aspect and flying under the mental one.
