Rayo Vallecano advanced to the final of a UEFA competition for the first time in history after winning both legs of their Conference League semi-final tie with Strasbourg.
Inigo Perez's troops are now on a five-match unbeaten run across all competitions (W4, D1). They are two points behind seventh-placed Getafe and can secure a UEFA Europa League berth by either finishing in the top seven or by winning the UEFA Conference League final later this month.
Conversely, Rayo are seven points above the relegation zone, but with four matches remaining, they will guarantee their safety by winning this game.
The hosts will definitely be without Isi Palazon for this game, as the veteran midfielder serves his second of a seven-match ban imposed by La Liga's football disciplinary body following his improper conduct from the bench during Rayo’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Real Sociedad on 24 April.
Additionally, Luis Felipe and Diego Mendez are ruled out for this game due to hamstring and knee injuries, respectively.
On the other hand, Girona's 1-0 home defeat against Mallorca was their third loss in a row and their fourth consecutive game without a victory. The visitors are only a point above the relegation zone and will need as many points as they can get from their remaining four fixtures.
Interestingly, Michel's side have a poor track record against Rayo Vallecano, as they have lost the last two encounters between these teams, with no wins in the last three H2Hs.
Girona will remain without Juan Carlos and Donny van de Beek due to cruciate ligament injuries, while Vladyslav Vanat and Marc-Andre ter Stegen are also sidelined with hamstring injuries.
The Catalan side will also miss the services of Bryan Gil, who is suspended (accumulated yellow cards), and Abel Ruiz, with the latter needing a few more weeks to recover from a thigh problem.

Whispers Predicts: Rayo Vallecano 1-0 Girona
At 2.45, Rayo Vallecano are considered favourites by the bookies. Given their winning streak, coupled with their recent results against Girona, we are confident that the hosts will emerge victorious after 90 minutes.
It is worth mentioning that Girona lost their last three games by one-goal margins, so we fancy Rayo Vallecano to win by exactly one goal at 4.50.
Moreover, Rayo won four of their last five games to nil, and this can be backed at 4.40.
Keeping in mind that three of those victories were by 1-0 scorelines, a similar result is priced at 9.30.
