Match preview
Back at home, will Rayo Vallcano’s excellent start to the season continue?
So far, both of los Franjirrojos’ matches this season have been played in Catalonia, but they’ve proved to be fruitful trips to the north-east.
First, Andoni Iraola’s side held Barcelona to a goalless draw, spoiling the opening night Camp Now party.
Then, last Friday night, Isi Palazón and Pathé Ciss scored quick-fire goals in a 2-0 victory over Espanyol at RCDE Stadium.
Last season, at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas, Rayo were unbeaten after ten matches, accumulating 26 points, but are currently winless in ten home outings.
Will that streak come to an end here?
Mallorca meanwhile were beaten 2-1 by Real Betis last weekend, with Vedat Muriqi equalising in vain at Son Moix.
Before that, los Bermellones had, somehow, held Athletic Club to a goalless draw at San Mamés.
All in all, a mixed bag for Javier Aguirre’s team so far this season, and Mallorca will do well to leave Madrid with anything here.
