Girona and Rayo Vallecano will wrap up the year on Thursday (December 29) when they square off at the Estadi Montilivi in the Spanish La Liga.

Girona were dumped out of the Copa del Rey last Thursday, as they suffered a shock 2-1 loss against lower-tier CP Cacereno. That followed an impressive run during the 2022 FIFA World Cup break, where they picked up two wins and a draw in four friendlies.
Girona will now aim to pick up from where they dropped off in the La Liga. They're on a two-game winning run in the league and are 13th in the standings.

Meanwhile, Vallecano edged out Atlético Saguntino 3-1 on penalties after a goalless 120 minutes to reach the third round of the Copa del Rey.
They will now turn their sights to La Liga, where they're on a six-game unbeaten run since a 3-1 loss away to Almeria on October 8. With 22 points from 14 games, Vallecano are eighth in the league table but could rise up to fourth with all three points this weekend.

Still licking their wounds from their Copa del Rey exit, Girona will head into this game in search of a morale-boosting result.
While Vallecano have been in solid form in La Liga, they have managed just one win in their last five games on the road. Nevertheless, both teams will cancel out each other’s efforts and settle for a share of the spoils.
