Rayo Vallecano – Girona Preview: News, Form, Potential Lineups, and More
This is a very interesting matchup and, so check out both teams in more detail, including the possible Rayo Vallecano vs Girona lineups:
Rayo Vallecano
After failing to notch a win in the last five games in La Liga, it seems that Rayo Vallecano is having a bit of a crisis at the moment. Despite that, the team remains in the top half of the standings with 35 points from 25 matches. They are also very close to spots that lead to European competitions, so that hope is still alive, but they need to get back to winning soon.
When it comes to team news, Esteban Saveljich is out with an injury, while Ivan Balliu is suspended at the moment.
Rayo Vallecano Predicted Lineup:
Dimitrievski – Hernandez, Lejeune, Catena, F. Garcia – Ciss, Valentin – Palazon, Trejo, A. Garcia – Camello
Girona
In the last six games in La Liga, Girona has three wins and three losses. That is a solid haul for a team that's new in the league and Girona fans can certainly be happy with the team's position so far since they are currently in the 12th spot in the standings, although they are still only four points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone.
Girona will again be without Joel Roca, Yan Couto, Alexander Callens, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe through injuries.
Girona Predicted Lineup:
Gazzaniga – A. Martinez, Bueno, D. Lopez, Gutierrez – Romeu, A. Garcia, B. Garcia – Tsygankov, Castellanos, Riquelme

Girona
Player to Watch: Isaac Palazon
Both Girona and Rayo Vallecano rely on their teamwork to get good results, but as we look at the stats so far in La Liga, one player stands out from both teams. It's Isaac “Isi” Palazon, a 28-years-old Spanish winger who contributed the most to Rayo Vallecano's success in the league this season.
With five goals and five assists to his name, Palazon is clearly leading the offensive line for Rayo Vallecano and Girona will have to find a way to stop him if they want to have a good result in this game.
