Current streaks

Recent form

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano have shown mixed form in their recent outings, demonstrating resilience with three consecutive draws in their last five matches. Despite their mid-table position, the team have been consistently finding the back of the net, scoring in all of their last six games across all competitions. Notably, their 3-1 victory against Racing Ferrol in the Copa del Rey stands out as their highest-scoring match in this period. Defensively, Rayo Vallecano have struggled to keep clean sheets, with their current streak extending to seven games without one. The team's ability to both score and concede has led to an entertaining average of 2.83 total goals per game, with both teams scoring in 100% of their last six matches. This offensive output, coupled with defensive vulnerabilities, has resulted in an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals.

Girona

Girona have experienced a challenging period in recent matches, with their form dipping after a promising start to the season. The Catalan side have lost four of their last six games across all competitions, including back-to-back defeats in their two most recent outings. Despite their current 8th position in La Liga, Girona's recent results suggest a struggle for consistency. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game in their last six matches, while their defence has conceded at the same rate. A bright spot in their recent form was a brief two-game winning streak in La Liga, including a comfortable 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid, which stands out as their highest-scoring match in this period. Interestingly, Girona have maintained a perfect balance between high and low-scoring affairs, with exactly half of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Rayo Vallecano

Rayo Vallecano's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches at Estadio de Vallecas. The team have been involved in some high-scoring encounters, most notably a thrilling 3-3 draw against Real Madrid, which contributed to their impressive 67% rate of matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite their inconsistent results, Rayo have been reliable in finding the back of the net, scoring in five out of six games and averaging 1.5 goals per match. However, their defence has been somewhat porous, conceding 1.67 goals per game and managing only one clean sheet during this period. The team's ability to both score and concede regularly is reflected in the high percentage (83%) of matches where both teams scored, making their home games exciting affairs for neutrals with an average of 3.17 total goals per match.

Girona

Girona have been struggling for form away from home recently, with only one win in their last six away fixtures. The Catalan side have failed to score in three of these matches, including their most recent Champions League defeat to AC Milan. Despite their defensive solidity, evidenced by two clean sheets in this run, Girona have been struggling to find the back of the net, averaging less than one goal per game. Their away form has been characterised by low-scoring affairs, with 67% of these matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Interestingly, Girona have managed to avoid defeat in consecutive away games only once in this period, drawing against UD Logroñés and Villarreal CF. This inconsistent form on the road may be a contributing factor to their current 8th position in the league.
