Girona will be desperately looking to get back to winning ways as they take on a struggling Rayo Vallecano side.
Girona aims to reignite their faltering title aspirations as they face Rayo Vallecano, a bottom-half side, at Estadi Montilivi on Monday. Currently sitting third in La Liga with 56 points, they trail Barcelona by just one point after Barcelona's recent victory over Getafe. Girona can reclaim the top spot with a win, albeit having played one more game. With their recent dip in form, securing a victory is crucial to stay in contention for the title. Despite only earning one point in their last three matches and suffering two consecutive losses, Girona remains one of the league's top scorers with 54 goals, boasting an average of 2.5 goals per game at home, a trend they'll hope to continue in this fixture.
Rayo Vallecano holds an eight-point cushion above the relegation zone but faces concerns over recent form. Despite holding Real Madrid to a 1-1 draw, they're winless in six league matches, with two draws and four losses. Notably, three of their last four matches ended in 2-1 defeats, suggesting potential for goals in this fixture. While their attacking record hasn't been remarkable, with just 22 goals scored overall, they've found the net in their last four league games and will aim to continue this trend. Their away scoring record has improved recently, with four goals in their last four away games after failing to score in three previous outings.
