Team News

Rayo Vallecano
Girona
  • Rayo should employ a similar formation to the one that earned them a valuable point against Real Madrid.
  • Oscar Valentin, who won man of the match in last week's Madrid derby, should continue in the heart of defensive midfield for the hosts.
  • Andrei Ratiu could start again, having been disciplined and impressive in defence on his first start for the club.
  • Girona boss Michel could be without no fewer than five players for the trip to Osasuna.
  • 3-4-3 is Girona boss Michel's go-to attacking formation and no doubt he will field his players as such to try and build on their two point lead at the top of the La Liga table.

Prediction

  • Girona are absolutely flying at the moment and, despite having Barcelona and Real at the top for competition, are the number one team to beat in Spain right now. Sitting two points above Real Madrid, the hosts visitors are unbeaten on the road this season.
  • Rayo are renowned for their discipline this season and have played well in important fixtures, bar a 7-0 defeat to Atletico. They lie in ninth place, and a victory over Girona could see them start to close a five point gap on the automatic Europa League spot.
  • This one is likely to start off as a cagey affair but one goal for the visitors could open the flood gates to a trademark Girona 23/24 performance...
