Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Predictions

• Six of Girona’s last nine home matches have included at least three goals
• Half of Rayo Vallecano last four away Copa del Rey games had at least three goals
• Girona have won six home fixtures in a row

Girona on a roll

After narrowly missing out on promotion last season, 2021/22 has been a solid campaign so far for Girona, with goal scoring again one of their strong points.

They come into this tie having won six consecutive matches, while they have scored at least twice in four of those games, each of which have contained three or more goals.

The trend of games seeing plenty of final third action has continued on the road, too. In total, 11 of their last 17 games at all venues have included at least three goals.

Banana skin for Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano’s away record this season is dismal, winning just once in ten La Liga outings, while also narrowly edging past minnows Mirandes and Gijueloin in the Copa del Rey.

They have only kept one clean sheet in 13 games on the road, so their defence is a clear issue, but they do score goals themselves, netting in eight of their last 11.

There is a genuine chance of an upset in this game. I predict there will be goals, selecting three or more goals for the match, while predicting Girona will win 2-1.
