Prediction published on 18/06/2021, 12:36  by Daniel Ngulu in Football Predictions

Girona are 90 minutes away from a return to the Spanish La Liga. They will be hosting Rayo Vallecano in the second leg of their Segunda playoff this Sunday. The first leg, hosted by Rayo, ended 2-1 in Girona’s favor and now they will be looking to complete the job. They go to the game on the back of a good run, unbeaten in 11 matches going back to the regular season. In the 11 matches, Girona have managed nine wins, eight clean sheets and failed to score in just one. The last team to beat them was actually Rayo Vallecano during the regular season, a game that ended 2-1 after Rayo came from a goal down to claim the win. At home, Girona have seven straight wins going to this game and they have five straight clean sheets

Rayo Vallecano did take an early lead in the first leg of this tie courtesy of Isi Palazon’s strike but they dropped their guard and Girona scored in the 41st and 46th minutes to take a massive advantage. That was their third loss in the last 10 matches and in relation to Girona’s run, they will have an uphill task here. Only one of the last 12 matches between these two sides has produced a draw, while each side has two wins in the last five matches. Away from home, Rayo have three straight wins and backed by this stat, they’ll want to give their all to overturn their loss at home.
