Rayo Vallecano came to this year after a terrible last season where they barely secured survival. This season looks much better as they returned to where they belong and where we used to see them under the previous coach (Andoni Iraola). Right now, the popular "Los Franjirrojos" are in 9th place with 26 points from 20 matches - around 0.3 points more per game than last season. Currently, they are only four points away from reaching the European spots. Reaching it would be a massive success for them, considering they only had one European appearance in the club's history.
Girona had an incredible last season, and it seemed they could maybe even win the title. Unfortunately, that did not happen. This season, while they aren't on last season's level, they are still playing an OK season by their standards. Right now, they are in 8th place with 28 points from 20 matches - two points away from the European spots. Also, the Catalan team wasn't great in the Champions League, as they are without a chance to advance to the next stage after winning just three points in seven rounds. So, we expect them to fully focus on La Liga.
Rayo Vallecano vs Girona pick: Both teams to score
Rayo Vallecano are in solid form, as they only lost once in the last nine games! More importantly, they scored at least one goal in all of those nine games. However, they weren't particularly great defensively, keeping a clean sheet just once during that period. Because of a solid offense and mediocre defense at best, we saw both teams scoring in eight of nine matches - 89%.
Girona has had its ups and downs lately, and even though they are far from impressive form, they are still scoring pretty regularly. They only failed to score against AC Milan in the last five matches in all competitions. But even in that match, they did OK, having 0.94 xG and having one goal disallowed by VAR.
In the last h2h games, both teams scored in five out of the last seven matches - 71%. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, we believe that both teams to score bet should be the safest option for this La Liga tie.

Rayo Vallecano team news
Midfielder Pathe Ciss served his one-game suspension in the previous game against Osasuna and will be available. The 30-year-old became a valuable member of the first eleven and has started in four of the last five La Liga games.
When it comes to injuries, the team shouldn't have any new ones, but Jonathan Montiel and Raul de Tomas, who missed the previous games, should remain sidelined.

Girona team news
Midfielder Yangel Herrera served his one-game suspension against Sevilla and will be available. We expect him back in the starting lineup, considering he is probably one of their best players.
With Arnaut Danjuma recovered from his injury, the only two players who will miss the game are Miguel Gutierrez and Bojan Miovski.
