Rayo Vallecano vs Mallorca: Madrid to Qualify?

One of the matches of the Spanish Cup quarterfinals will be the encounter between Rayo Vallecano and Mallorca. The teams will meet, solving different issues in La Liga. The capital team has the opportunity to concentrate on the second most important tournament of Spanish soccer. At the same time, the islanders are going to fight hard with their direct rival, Cadiz.

Rayo Vallecano achieved two away cup victories over Mirandez and Girona in January. In the Spanish championship during this period, the capital team played to a 1:1 draw with Betis and lost 0:1 to Atletico. After the 21st round of play, Rayo is in 8th position in the La Liga standings, yielding three points to Real Sociedad, which is located in the European Cup zone. Chances to get into the top-6 of Rayo are not bad. However, we cannot ignore the high competition, and the latest statistics suggest that all is not well with the set of points in the championship. But the Spanish Cup is an excellent opportunity to realize their ambitions.

But the Spanish Cup is a good opportunity to realize our ambitions.

In the first round of La Liga 2021/22, Rayo Vallecano beat Mallorca 3:1. Since November 2021, not much has changed, at least Mallorca has not become more robust, and Rayo certainly does not mind next season to enter the European Cups. La Copa is almost the most direct way. Recently, the Madrid team had some difficulties converting moments, which is proved by performance. We do not expect a lot of goals scored, but we will be surprised if Mallorca plays in the semifinals.
