Prediction: 1-1
Rayo Vallecano
Girona will look to make a fine start to the new La Liga campaign as they welcome Rayo Vallecano to Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on Friday. The Catalans finished the last Primera Division campaign in 16th place, only one point clear of the relegation zone and, no doubt, they are eager to make amends for the unsuccessful domestic season. Loanee Thomas Lemar is widely expected to start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Los Vallecanos, on the other hand, will represent Spain in the Conference League this term after securing a top-eight finish last time out. Rayo are more of a team than Girona, but with the Catalans being tough to beat at home, there is a big value in betting on draw. Joni Montiel and Sergi Guardiola are no longer parts of the team after joining Qarabag and Cordoba respectively in the summer transfer window.
Highlighted Team (Girona):
After several unsuccessful attempts, finally secured promotion to Primera Division at the end of the 2016/2017 season. The Catalan outfit finished the campaign in second place in the standings, 14 points behind Levante and only two clear of third-placed Getafe. Girona play their home games at Montilivi and the capacity of the venue is 9.286.
Speaking of the club history, Girona were founded in the café Norat in La Rambla of Girona on July 23, 1930 and they played their first official game against Colonia Artigas. A number of Spanish coaches were in charge of the team in the past, but it has to be noted that Uruguayan tactician Dagoberto Moll (1965/1966) and Karoly Plattko (1948/1949) of Hungary were in charge of the club as well.
The Catalan team wear white shirts with red stripes when playing at home, while the colour of their shorts is blue. The team’s away kits are blue and black and Sporting Gijon are considered one of Girona’s fiercest rivals.
