Girona, Recent FormGirona will be happy to take away 3 points from their last match, with an important 2-1 away win against Elche. They achieved 55% possession in that match and had 21 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Elche's tally of 11 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, with them having managed to score 9 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 8 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 11 games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
Girona will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Goalscorer Cristhian Stuani will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Girona.
Rayo Vallecano, Recent FormRayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 0-0 draw in his team's last league outing against Celta Vigo. Their share of possession in that meeting was 58%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Celta Vigo, who had 11 shots on goal with 3 on target.
Iraola will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, with them having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Rayo Vallecano, Álvaro García will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Rayo Vallecano recorded a 2-1 win last time these two sides went head to head in the league.
Playing at home, Girona have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Rayo.
In this away league fixture, Rayo has not won in the last 3 times they have played Girona at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.
Girona manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Borja García (Ligament), Reinier Jesus (Muscle) and Ibrahima Kébé (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Rayo manager Andoni Iraola ahead of this clash, with Andrés Martín (Shoulder) missing out, which gives Iraola a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
