Rayo Vallecano form and stats
Rayo Vallecano have collected 19 points from their La Liga home games so far after 5-4-3. Two draws in a row at home now for Rayo Vallecano.
Stress levels are on the rise for Vallecano's attacking players as they have now played 295 minutes without scoring in a league game. Lejeune was their last goal scorer.
The followers are hoping that Rayo Vallecano will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the match against Celta de Vigo (placed 11th). The striker de Tomás outdid all the other footballers in that game and received a match rating of 7.12 out of 10. Tomás hit the woodwork once and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 0-0 versus Athletic Club.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Rayo Vallecano have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 2.
Trouble hitting the net? In this club's last 10 league games, 8 have contained less than three goals (under 2.5).
The Rayo Vallecano fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 12 matches.
Girona form and stats
There's been little loot from Girona's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 12 away games in the La Liga. Girona only have 2 wins to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws.

Late heartbreak for Girona in the Atlético Madrid match, as the deciding 0-1 goal came deep into overtime. Defender Bueno was the best team player with a rating of 7.24. Bueno hit one key pass and won 3 of 3 duels.
A 2-3 defeat away at Getafe before that.We have checked recent matches where Girona have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 6 games were 3 victories, 0 draws and 3 defeats.
