Rayo Vallecano extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to three games last time out with a solid 2-0 win away from home at Getafe which lifted the upcoming hosts up into the relative safety of 11th place in the table.
A recent 1-0 home win over Espanyol along with a point picked up in a 3-3 draw at home with Real Sociedad have now given Rayo Vallecano a useful five-point buffer between themselves and third from bottom club Alaves ahead of Monday night’s encounter against Girona.
The bigger picture shows Rayo Vallecano have slipped to just two defeats in their last 12 matches overall in the Spanish top flight, both of which were dealt out to them away from home at Mallorca and Barcelona, while also possessing a stubborn looking home record of 6-9-2 21/14 to date.
Girona continue to hover dangerously just above the relegation zone in La Liga following a third league defeat on the trot which came in the form of a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Mallorca at the start of the month.
Having previously suffered defeats at the hands of Real Betis and Valencia as well, Girona face a tough night at the office when they travel to the Estadio de Vallecas against a solid and stubborn Rayo Vallecano outfit.
Indeed, the visitors have managed to capture just two wins from their last 10 matches overall in La Liga which came in 1-0 and 3-0 home wins against Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao, but also includes being handed five defeats and being involved in three stalemates.
An away record of 3-7-7 17/26 doesn’t instil confidence in Girona’s chances here on Monday night.
The Betting Verdict
Rayo Vallecano registered a 2-1 home win over Girona in the previous meeting at their Estadio de Vallecas.
The Pick :
Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Girona
