Mallorca will host Getafe in a crucial La Liga match on Sunday. Mallorca aims to keep their hopes for European competition alive, while Getafe is desperate to secure their spot in the top tier and avoid relegation.

**Mallorca and Getafe Clash in High-Stakes La Liga Showdown**

*Mallorca/Getafe (Madrid), May 17 (EFE)* – RCD Mallorca will host Getafe CF this Sunday at Son Moix in a match brimming with significance for both clubs. Mallorca is clinging to its ambitions of qualifying for European competition next season, while Getafe is desperately fighting to avoid a late-season relegation scare.

Mallorca’s recent form has been patchy, marred by a late defeat against Real Madrid and inconsistent results. However, the team is hoping to build on a recent win against Valladolid. All eyes will be on Sergi Darder, who has been a standout performer amidst Mallorca’s inconsistent form. Manager Jagoba Arrasate, celebrating his 500th game, is expected to deploy a four-man defense, with Vedat Muriqi likely to lead the attack, potentially partnered with Dani Rodríguez.

Getafe, on the other hand, arrives at Son Moix in a full-blown crisis. A disastrous run of six consecutive defeats and five straight games without scoring has seen them plummet down the table. While they currently sit five points above the relegation zone, a loss here coupled with a Leganes win would place them dangerously close to the drop zone with only one game remaining.

Manager José Bordalás is missing Djené Dakonam through suspension. There is hope that Alex Sola and Juanmi Jimenez will recover from their injuries. Bordalás hopes the starting eleven will improve on the recent Athletic defeat and can rely on the return of Juan Berrocal and is calling on his players to ignore external factors and focus on securing the crucial victory.

“We need to be brave within an order.” said Arrasate when questioned on his teams tactics. Bordalas was similarly brief, “There is no time to lament.”

A win for Getafe would guarantee their La Liga status for another season. Anything less, and they face a nervous final matchday with their fate potentially out of their own hands.

**Projected Lineups:**

* **Mallorca:** Greif; Maffeo, Valjent, Raíllo, Mojica; Antonio Sánchez, Samú Costa, Omar Mascarell, Sergi Darder; Dani Rodríguez, Vedat Muriqi.
* **Getafe:** Soria; Juan Iglesias, Duarte, Alderete, Diego Rico; Terrats, Milla, Arambarri, Bernat/Coba; Uche, Álvaro/Mayoral.

**Match Details:**

* **Referee:** Alejandro Hernández Hernández (Comité de Gran Canaria)
* **Standings:** Mallorca (10th, 47 points); Getafe (15th, 39 points)
