Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Prediction & Tips
After a spectacular third place finish in the 2023/24 season, Girona were on the brink of disaster last season, finishing in 16th place, just one point above the relegation zone. The European campaign and domestic commitments proved too heavy a burden for the Catalans, which was reflected in the results. Now, without European tournaments and with a renewed squad, Míchel’s team can focus on LaLiga and stabilise their game.
Unlike their opponents, Rayo had a stable last season and even finished eighth, earning a place in the Conference League playoffs. Under Íñigo Pérez, the Madrid-based side improved in organisation and defence, which earned them their best result in recent years. Now, the team will have to combine European competition and league play, so squad depth will be a key factor.
