Girona vs Rayo Vallecano prediction and betting tips on February 26, 2024
Game Prediction
In Spain, the round in the Primera traditionally begins on Friday. And, just as usual, the final match in this division was moved to the first day of the new week. Girona and Rayo Vallecano will compete with each other later than everyone else there. Will the team of Dovbyk and Tsygankov cope with the guests from the capital of the country? The analytical department of the website has presented an announcement and a prediction for the match on February 26, 2024.
Girona still has goals, which are quite ambitious ones, for the end of the season
“The Girondins” had spent only 3 years at the La Liga level, including returning to this level after a break in 2022, before this change (that happened through the play-offs). Initially, Michel Sanchez’s wards were expected to finish in the middle of the table, as in 2023. Still, they had been the leaders until February. It was difficult to maintain such a pace. First, there was elimination from the cup confrontation, then, after a goalless draw in the struggle with Sociedad, they lost to Real Madrid – 0-4. However, the task now is to finish as high as possible, at least in the top 4. And the 2-3 score in the game with Athletic clearly does not bring it closer to its implementation; on the contrary, it sharpened the intrigue.
Rayo Vallecano isn’t great, but it can be dangerous
“The Bees” were a typical tough coaching team. Iraola lifted them from the Segunda and finished in the middle of the La Liga table twice. It was only in the summer that Andoni, having completed his contract, left for English Bournemouth. And his successor, Francisco, was unable to keep his players at the higher mentioned level. It was especially bad in the previous rounds: there were 4 defeats and a draw in the confrontation with Real Sociedad after a power play victory over Getafe. Speaking about the previous round, Raul de Tomas and the company managed to end up in a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in a derby against a status neighbour. That brought only 1 point and did not particularly help to break away from the relegation zone.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Girondins” have not lost 4 times in a row. Moreover, the same 2-2 score in the previous season after a pair of draws, Michel Sanchez’s wards won both in the La Liga and in the cup tournament this season.
