Predictions & Statistics

Rayo Vallecano are currently 11 in the standings with 42 points from 34 matches. The record of 10 wins, 12 draws, and 12 defeats, together with a 35:41 goal balance, points toward good form over their recent run. Much of their attacking threat comes through J. de Frutos (10 goals), A. Garcia (4 goals), I. Palazon (3 goals), with creative support from A. Garcia (5 assists), I. Palazon (3 assists), Andrei Rațiu (3 assists), while at the back they have looked quite vulnerable. At home, their split return of 6 wins, 9 draws, and 2 losses fits a very strong split record. They are operating from a relatively stable mid-table position. Stylistically, they usually display a more cautious and defensive approach. Although they are without I. Akhomach, D. Mendez, Luiz Felipe, I. Palazon, the biggest concern is that one of those absentees also contributes heavily in both finishing and chance creation.

With 38 points from 34 games and a place of 17, Girona still have clear room for improvement in overall consistency. Across the season they have posted 9 wins, 11 draws, and 14 defeats, and the 36:51 goal record continues to suggest poor form and are going through a difficult losing run. Their attacking burden often falls on V. Vanat (9 goals), V. Tsygankov (6 goals), Azzedine Ounahi (5 goals), with creative support from V. Tsygankov (4 assists), Bryan Gil (3 assists), Álex Moreno (3 assists), while at the back they have been quite vulnerable. Away from home, they have returned 3 wins, 7 draws, and 7 losses, which indicates a weak split record. They are under visible pressure near the relegation zone. Stylistically, they tend to play with a more cautious and defensive approach. They also have disciplinary concerns to manage, with B. Gil, Juan Carlos, Portu unavailable.
