Girona will be looking to continue their excellent start to the La Liga season on Saturday, as they play their final match before the international break. Rayo Vallecano will have the home field advantage, as they look to end a two-game drawing run.
Few could have foreseen the start to the season that Girona have enjoyed this term, as the Spanish side currently sits two points clear at the top of the standings. They could extend that advantage before their key rivals have the opportunity to respond this weekend when they travel to Rayo Vallecano.
Girona come into this fixture in excellent recent form, as they have won each of their previous four matches since dropping to a first loss of the campaign against Real Madrid. The Spanish side continued their excellent recent run of form last weekend, as they picked up maximum points against Osasuna. Four different scorers found the net in that win, with Ivan Martin breaking the deadlock inside 16 minutes. However, goals from Artem Dovbyk, Viktor Tsyhankov, and Aleix Garcia turned the game back in their favour after going 2-1 down.
Vallecano are unlikely to be a side that comes into this match in poor form, as they have made a bright start to the new La Liga season. They have been incredibly challenging to beat over the opening months of the campaign, as they have lost just twice in 12 La Liga matches. However, draws are becoming a slight issue, as they have been held on six occasions.Draws have been a common result in recent weeks for Vallecano, as they have been held in four of their previous five. They also come into this match after having played out a second straight draw in their most recent fixture. On that occasion, they didn’t have the quality in the final third to take one of their golden opportunities before drawing 0-0 against Real Madrid.
Girona have gone four La Liga matches against Vallecano without defeat. However, each of the last two have ended in entertaining 2-2 draws. The most recent of those came in this exact fixture last season in March.
Girona’s exceptionally bright start to the new season is very challenging to overlook this weekend. However, draws have been a common result when these sides have collided, and that could be the most lucrative betting angle on Saturday.
