Team News

Girona
Rayo Vallecano
  • Yan Couto returns from suspension and is a much needed addition to sure up Girona's defensive shape and solidarity.
  • Juanpe should continue at centre-back despite his poor performance against Athletic Club. Daley Blind is injured with a leg injury.
  • Girona's form at the moment could encourage Michel to make ample change, although his rather thin squad and defensive injuries could make it difficult to rally the troops in time for Monday.
  • Isi Palazon is suspended having picked up five yellow cards and will not play. Jorge de Frutos should replace him against Girona.
  • Pep Chavarria has a hamstring problem and will have to be assessed over the weekend.
  • Oscar Trejo and Raul de Tomas should continue under new boss Inigo Perez after holding out for a 1-1 draw against Real Madrid.

Prediction

  • Girona welcome Rayo Vallecano to the Estadi Montilivi in aims to try and turn around their unfortunate form, which has seen them fall well behind Real Madrid at the summit of La Liga. The Catalonia outfit risk having their spot in second taken by Barcelona or Atletico Madrid in the coming weeks.
  • A victory for the newly inspired Rayo Vallecano under Inigo Perez, who managed to grind out a well-deserved draw against Real Madrid last week, would go 11 points safe with a win. They haven't won on the road since the January 2nd, though.
  • Expect both teams to score in this one, with Girona likely gaining some much-needed confidence on home soil.
