Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Girona are unbeaten in their last four meetings with these opponents, winning both of their clashes this season
• Both teams have scored in each of Vallecano’s last four La Liga games
• Girona are unbeaten in their last nine home matches, winning seven of the games in that run

Home comforts can help Girona get back on track

Girona’s title aspirations have taken a huge dent following a run of three matches without a win and they could be as many as nine points behind league leaders Real Madrid by the time they take on Rayo Vallecano on Monday night.

Michel needs a reaction from his side as soon as possible and, luckily, he has a good chance to receive one as they are taking on a team they are unbeaten against in four meetings and who have won just one of their last 15 La Liga games.

Vallecano have lost four of their last six away league matches as well as both meetings with Girona this season, although the hosts may not have it all their own way even if they do manage to stop the rot.

Exciting encounter likely in Catalonia

The last five meetings between the pair have seen each side find the net and Rayo have shown their ability to perform against the league’s best sides throughout the season.

Both teams have scored in each of their last four matches, meaning they have netted against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the past few weeks which would suggest they can nick a goal in Catalonia on Monday.

Girona have shipped seven goals in their past two matches and have managed just two clean sheets in their past seven fixtures so, while the hosts should perform better at home – where they are unbeaten in nine outings – and snap their two-game losing streak, both sides look set to score at the Estadi Montilivi.
