Rayo Draw Once Again

Only Girona and La Liga predictions had Rayo losing to Real Madrid in a derby match last weekend but the visitors came away with a scoreless draw. Sure the expected goal margin was 2.2 to 0.1 in favor of Real Madrid but Rayo managed to escape unscathed.

Rayo aren’t the most creative team but they are certainly frustrating to play against. They limited Real Madrid’s chances and held tight at the back in Sunday’s draw. They’ve now drawn six of their last seven La Liga games and half of their matches have finished all square this season. Despite having a -1 goal difference, Rayo are in the top half of the table, in ninth place.

Raul de Tomas has started most of Rayo’s games up front but has failed to score a La Liga goal so far this season. Alvaro Garcia leads Rayo, with three goals, but they’ve scored just 1.2 goals per game this season. They’ve made up for that by keeping six clean sheets so far. Along with Garcia, Isi Palazon is one to watch for Rayo Vallecano. Even though they’re on a long unbeaten run, our Rayo Vallecano vs Girona game analysis notes the oddsmakers price the hosts as underdogs.

Girona Dreaming of Shock Title

Current Rayo Vallecano manager Francisco coached Girona from 2020 to 21. Girona coach Michel was also at Rayo from 2017 to 2019 and he’s done a stellar job at Girona. The scores and odds show Girona already have nearly two thirds of the points they managed all of last season, which wasn’t at all a bad one for them. After earning promotion from the Segunda Division in 2021-22, Girona finished in tenth in 2022-23.

Now, they’re incredibly on top of the La Liga win.

Six Girona players have already scored at least three La Liga goals. Dovbyk is second in the league so far, with ten goal contributions. Savio and Aleix Garcia also have seven goal contributions apiece while Daley Blind is an experienced presence at the back. David Lopez could miss this one for the league leaders, though.
