Mallorca will face Rayo Vallecano in a mid-table clash at Iberostar Stadium at 19:00 GMT. The match holds little at stake for either side.
Mallorca, currently at 12th place on the La Liga table, is already safe going into the final match and sits eight points away from the drop zone. They are two points behind their opponents on Sunday and will aim to surpass them with a win to secure a spot in the top half of the table.
Rayo Vallecano is at 10th place on the table with 49 points, level on points with Girona in 9th and one point behind Osasuna and Athletic Club in 7th and 8th places, respectively.
Key Highlights
Mallorca’s Fight to Get into the Top Half of La Liga
Mallorca’s form has been inconsistent in recent matches as they aim to climb into the top half of the La Liga table in the business end of the league.
They won only two matches out of their last five outings, losing the remaining three, which led them to collect six points out of 15, causing them to drop to 12th place on the table.
Nevertheless, Mallorca still has a chance to climb into the top half of the table if they win their final match against Vallecano at home and get favorable outcomes in other matches to climb up to 9th place on the table.

However, Mallorca is aware that they must win their home clash against Vallecano, particularly after their 3-0 defeat to Barcelona at Camp Nou last Sunday.
Rayo Vallecano’s Bid to Climb to the Top Third of the La Liga Table
Rayo Vallecano ended their three-match losing streak in La Liga with a 2-1 home win over Villarreal last Sunday.
Their three consecutive losses came against Real Betis (3-1), at home to Espanyol (1-2), and away to Real Madrid (2-1). These three defeats sandwiched the win over Valladolid at home (2-1) and last weekend’s triumph over Villarreal.
Vallecano aims to make it two wins in a row, gain a vital victory on the last day of the season, and increase their chances of climbing higher on the table.
Their poor recent form cost them the opportunity to challenge higher on the table and potentially compete for European spots.
