Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips: Girona to Win

Girona’s hopes for a domestic title are fading as they go through a dry spell in February, gaining just one weak point from their last three LaLiga matches this month. This highlights the urgent need for a swift change in their luck.

Following a lackluster 0-0 draw with Real Sociedad, they suffered back-to-back significant losses against Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. These defeats saw their net ripple seven times, a setback that leaves Michel’s team trailing six points behind in the title race.

Although Girona has experienced some unfortunate results, they remain in second place. However, this may change soon. Their Catalan competition, Barcelona, are playing in LaLiga before them, and could potentially displace them from their runner-up position. This means that Girona, also known as the White and Reds, must overcome their recent slump.

The Gironistes are likely to regain their winning spirit upon returning home. Before their draw with Real Sociedad, they enjoyed a thrilling six-match winning streak in any format when playing in front of their fans. During this streak, they managed to score an impressive 17 goals against their opponents.

Rayo Vallecano, a team that started the calendar year on a high note but quickly lost momentum, stands in their way. Despite kicking off 2024 with a comfortable 2-0 win in a challenging match against Getafe, they have since hit a rough patch, failing to secure a win in six consecutive top-flight matches (D2, L4).

Despite their current results crisis, Los Franjirrojos can find some comfort as they prepare for their match in Girona. They recently overturned a one-goal deficit to secure a valuable 1-1 draw with current league leaders, Real Madrid. This draw ended their disappointing three-game losing streak.

Despite demonstrating resilience and determination on the road, Inigo Perez’s team were unlucky in their consecutive LaLiga visits to Atletico Madrid and Mallorca. Despite their efforts, they suffered identical 1-2 defeats in both games, conceding late goals and leaving empty-handed.

The winless streak for the Madrid suburbs outfit could be extended for at least another week, as Girona has been dominant in both encounters this season &— edging them out 2-1 in LaLiga and sprinting to a 3-1 victory in the Copa del Rey clash &— leaving us convinced that Michel’s squad will find a way to bag the full points and fortify their top-four standing.

Rayo Vallecano team news

As for the visitors, they have little to worry about the absent players, but will have to cope without the services of key cog Isi Palazon, who earned his fifth yellow card of the campaign in the 1-1 draw against top-of-the-table Real Madrid.

Despite sitting out last time out with a slight muscle problem, Pep Chavarria trained with his team during the week and could be an option to face title-hopefuls Girona on Monday.
