Girona vs Rayo Vallecano prediction and betting tips on February 26, 2024
The 26th round of the Spanish La Liga will conclude with a match between Girona and Rayo Vallecano, which will take place at the "Montilivi" arena on Monday evening. Here is the prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Girona
The "white-and-reds" have long been battling with Real Madrid for the top spot, but now Michel's team is seriously at risk of falling to third place. Barcelona won their 26th round match in La Liga, so in order to maintain second place, Girona must secure three points against Rayo Vallecano. In recent rounds, Michel's team has faced formidable opponents and suffered defeats. First, a significant loss at the "Santiago Bernabeu" - 0:4, and then against Athletic Bilbao, where playing is always challenging (2:3). These dropped points have widened the gap in the table to six points for "Los Blancos," while Barcelona has recovered from a six-point deficit.
Rayo Vallecano
The "bees" have always been considered a thorny opponent, capable of snatching points from any competitor. In the previous round, Francisco's team once again demonstrated this by holding Real Madrid to a draw in their own home ground - 1:1. However, overall, it must be acknowledged that things are not going well for Rayo Vallecano this season. In the league, the "bees" have been unable to secure a victory in seven consecutive matches, only collecting two points in this period. Currently, "Rayo" occupies 14th place in the table, with an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone.
