Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction 25 Sep 2024

⚽ LaLiga - Round 7 Preview

📅 25 Sep 2024

⏰ 18:00 GMT +1

🏟 Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona)

After back-to-back victories on matchdays three and four, Girona seemed to be gaining momentum in La Liga, but three consecutive defeats have halted their progress, leaving fans concerned. Their latest disappointment came in a 2-0 loss to a struggling Valencia side, with Girona managing only three shots on target. The upcoming busy schedule, with three home games at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi, offers a prime opportunity for Girona to bounce back. Their first challenge will be Rayo Vallecano, a team they have never lost to in La Liga (W4, D2). Girona’s home form is formidable, having won 13 of their last 17 home league matches, including a 3-0 victory over Rayo.

Rayo Vallecano, currently one point ahead of Girona, earned a solid 1-1 draw against Atlético Madrid in their last outing. While head coach Iñigo Pérez was pleased with the result, the draw came after Rayo took an early lead. This marked their second consecutive unbeaten game (W1, D1), following a mini-revival after tough losses to Barcelona and Espanyol. However, Rayo’s away form remains a concern, having won just one of their last 12 away league games (D4, L7). Late drama could be on the cards, as two of Rayo’s last three away games ended 2-1 with stoppage-time winners.
