Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction 17.01.2024

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 17.01.2024
• Kickoff: 20:30 UTC / 21:30 CET
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona)

The small Catalan club, Girona, is not just a Spanish phenomenon but is also being hailed as a European miracle of the year in club football. Despite being over halfway through the season, they have managed to hold onto first place in LaLiga. Real Madrid trails them by a single point and has one game in hand, but Girona’s dream run continues. They also have a match in the Copa Del Rey’s 1/8 finals. Though this competition may seem secondary to them right now, it provides another excellent chance for them to solidify their position as one of this season’s top Spanish clubs.

Rayo Vallecano, a participant in LaLiga, holds a respectable position this season with 23 points at mid-table. Their performance, while not on par with Girona’s, has seen some commendable results such as draws against Sociedad, Sevilla, and Real Madrid. Despite a recent slump in form, the Spanish Cup presents an opportunity for Rayo Vallecano to regain momentum and potentially achieve improved form and results in the forthcoming period.

Girona vs Rayo Vallecano pick: GIRONA TO WIN

Girona has been victorious in their last three home matches and has only experienced one defeat in their last 15 games at this stadium. They convincingly defeated Elche in the previous cup round away from home. The club seems to be on a winning streak. Rayo Vallecano will surely come prepared for this match, but it’s tough to compete against a team that’s performing exceptionally well. Girona managed to score four goals against Atletico Madrid, one of the strongest defenses in Spain. The match may be unpredictable in the first half, but Girona is expected to gradually overcome their opponents and progress to the quarterfinals. The odds are strongly in favor of the home team.
