Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction: The visitors have beaten Girona in three of the last four head-to-head meetings

Prediction for the match between Girona and Rayo Vallecano, which will take place on December 29. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Girona was quite active in the first half of December; the Catalans played four friendlies in this period, two of which they won with one draw and one 0:2 defeat by Manchester City. The activity in this period didn't save the team from the departure from the Spanish Cup from Cacereno; an away defeat with a score of 1:2. Now Girona players can fully concentrate on the Spanish championship. In the standings of La Liga, Girona takes 13th place, five points ahead of Sevilla, located in the relegation zone.

So far, the Catalans have nothing to worry about, but they should not think about the European Cups either because the gap from Betis, located in the top 5, is 8 points. Girona's home statistics are the 10th in the division, with 11 points in seven games. In general, it is worth mentioning that the Catalans are a home team. Despite its modest league position, Girona is fourth in the division regarding the accuracy of assists, better than Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Villarreal.

Unlike Girona, Rayo Vallecano is still a contender for a place in the European Cup zone. Before the start of the 15th round, the capital club is in the eighth position, only two points behind sixth-place Betis. Before the Spanish league resumption, Rayo Vallecano played four friendlies, losing to Fenerbahçe and Newcastle, drawing against Real Sociedad, and beating Galatasaray. On 21 December, Rayo Vallecano barely beat Club Saguntino in the Spanish Cup. As for the away statistics of the club from Madrid, it is the eighth in the division, 8 points after seven matches, with a goal difference of 8:9.

Although Girona is a home team, we doubt the Catalans can win against the club from the Spanish capital. Let's start with the fact that Rayo is a team in the top ten with a chance to play in the European competition next season. In addition, they are not so bad in away games and generally have a personal advantage over the club from Catalonia. It is worth noting that Rayo Vallecano has beaten Girona in three of the last four face-to-face meetings.

We will not be surprised if the upcoming meeting suddenly has no winner. Although Girona is a mid-table, this team plays well in home games. And before the break, the Catalans had good statistics; you can recall, for example, a sensational 1:1 draw with Real Madrid and a 2:1 victory over Athletic.
