Girona FC vs Rayo Vallecano Preview
Girona FC
Following a stunning 2023/24 season, Girona have started the 2024/25 La Liga season terribly. In the last round, they suffered a 0-2 loss against Valencia. Michel’s team controlled possession, but it was very difficult to create dangerous moments. So far, the coaching staff has not been able to find a balance in the team and integrate the newcomers.

Girona played their first-ever match in the Champions League against PSG and were close to grabbing a point. However, a horrific error from Paulo Gazzaniga shattered the dreams of Blanquivermells, who eventually lost 1-0.
Michel is looking for the optimal combination of players. For example, Abel Ruiz and Bojan Miovski played in the attack against Valencia. However, they looked disorganised, so Michel might opt for Arnaut Danjuma to pair with Ruiz.
Rayo Vallecano
Iñigo Pérez has done a good job so far. Although the fans are not too happy with the results yet, the team’s progress is visible. With each round, Rayo Vallecano are becoming more reliable in defence and dangerous in the attack.
In the last round, Rayo held on to a draw in the derby against Atlético. Perez’s men neutralized the opponents’ main threats, opened the score and defended quite well.

Isi Palazón had a great match. The leader of Rayo Vallecano scored a goal and kept the opponent’s defence on edge. The captain is in great shape and motivates his teammates throughout each game.
We should also mention James Rodriguez. The Colombian still lacks sharpness, but his vision and passing abilities remain invaluable assets for Rayo.

- Pick: 2X (Rayo Vallecano won`t lose)
- Odds: 2.09 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Girona FC 1-1 Rayo Vallecano
Rayo Vallecano are in good form, which they proved in the last match. They were balanced and withstood the pressure of Atletico’s attackers. Moreover, they had opportunities in the offence.
Girona, on the other hand, are not in the best shape right now. Michel needs to change his strategy to keep the club going. The hosts have lost their last three matches, conceding seven goals.

Considering Girona’s difficulties in defence and the spirit of the visitors after a successful game with Atletico, we think it won’t be easy for Girona to win in this match. Rayo are more consistent this season and we suggest picking guests not to lose in this encounter.
Girona FC vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score
- Odds: 1.80 (22Bet)
Girona will actively play in attack on home soil, trying to end their current losing streak. This plays into Rayo Vallecano’s strengths, who know how to act in defence and build their gameplay on counterattacks.
If we look at Rayo’s past four matches, both teams find the back of the net. While cautious in defence, Los Franjirrojos are dangerous in attack and convert their chances effectively.
Girona will have the majority of the possession and likely score at least once against Rayo. We don’t expect a closed match and therefore our pick for this fixture would be – both teams to score.
