Prediction: Rayo Vallecano 2-1 Mallorca
This should be a tasty fixture given the state of the competition with a S/F place on the line.
However, we see Rayo getting through given how they have performed as a side this season.
In a cup clash, form does not matter much but Rayo has the quality to hurt Mallorca.
