Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Betting Tips: Girona to Win

Girona's dreams of claiming the domestic title are dwindling as they endure a barren run of form in February, accumulating only one feeble point from their past three LaLiga fixtures this month, underlining the imperative for an immediate shift in fortunes.

Coming off a dull nil-nil draw against Real Sociedad, they were dealt successive blows with heavy defeats from Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, seeing their net ripple seven times, a setback that leaves Michel's outfit lagging six points behind the title race.

Despite those unfortunate outcomes, Girona is still crouching in second, but perhaps not for long, as their Catalan rival Barselona, entering LaLiga action before them, could knock them off the runner-up spot, meaning the White and Reds must shake off their recent dowturns.

Returning home will serve as the spark for the Gironistes to reignite their winning spirit, as prior to the draw with Real Sociedad, they were on a scintillating six-match celebratory streak in any format in front of their fans, during which they tucked away an impressive 17 goals behind the opposition's net.

Standing in their way is Rayo Vallecano, a team whose promising start to the calendar year quickly faded, as they have endured a bumpy ride since opening 2024 with a comfortable 2-0 victory on a tricky trip to Getafe, slipping into an uncomfortable stretch of six top-flight matches without a win (D2, L4).

Despite being caught in the whirlwind of a results crisis, Los Franjirrojos will take heart ahead of their trip to Girona, having managed to come back from a goal down to snatch a valuable 1-1 draw against table-toppers Real Madrid, thus putting an end to their poor three-game losing streak.

On the road, Inigo Perez's side found themselves out of luck, as despite showing character and fighting spirit, they came away empty-handed in back-to-back LaLiga visits to Atletico Madrid and Mallorca, conceding late to succumb to identical 1-2 defeats on both occasions.

The winless streak for the Madrid suburbs outfit could be extended for at least another week, as Girona has been dominant in both encounters this season - edging them out 2-1 in LaLiga and sprinting to a 3-1 victory in the Copa del Rey clash - leaving us convinced that Michel's squad will find a way to bag the full points and fortify their top-four standing.
