The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this week as Rayo Vallecano take on an impressive Girona side in an important clash at the Estadio Montilivi on Monday.


Girona vs Rayo Vallecano Preview

Rayo Vallecano are currently in 14th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side held Real Madrid to an admirable 1-1 draw last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.

Girona, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have consistently punched above their weight so far this season. The Catalans slumped to a disappointing 3-2 defeat at the hands of Athletic Bilbao in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
