Rayo Vallecano vs Girona Predictions

• Girona have seen five of their last six away trips feature both teams scoring
• The last five meetings at this ground have seen BTTS land
• The visitors have conceded in their last seven matches on the road

Sliding doors clash for jubilant Rayo

Rayo Vallecano secured a place in the Conference League final with a 1-0 victory against Strasbourg on Thursday, but they can’t afford to take Monday’s league clash with Girona too lightly.

The hosts are in the middle of the pack, but they’re only six points clear of the drop zone, and they’re within two points of the European spots. With three of their final four fixtures coming against sides in the bottom-half, Rayo have good reason to be looking up, rather than down.

However, a setback against fifth-bottom Girona could add to relegation fears for Rayo. The visitors are only two points clear of the drop zone ahead of this weekend’s fixtures. The visitors are on a three-game losing streak in the league, and they’ll hope to catch Rayo off-guard.

The visitors offer some scoring threat on the road, having found the net in 13 of their 17 trips this term. Both teams have scored in five of their last six away trips, while BTTS has landed in each of their last five visits to Rayo.

Rayo head into the clash having won four of their last five, but they’ve drawn over half of their home games this term. The hosts have scored in 10 straight home league games, while Girona are without a clean sheet in seven trips. However, the visitors are scrapping for points while looking dangerous going forward, so a score draw stands out here.
