Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, will aim to build on their recent win against Elche. Their attacking trio could pose a significant threat if they find their rhythm early. However, breaking down Mallorca’s defence won’t be a walk in the park.Rayo Vallecano, on the other hand, will aim to build on their recent win against Elche.
