Prediction: 1-1
Girona
Rayo Vallecano play host to Girona at their Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in the opening match of Saturday’s program. Los Vallecanos did well to hold title hopefuls Real Madrid to a goalless draw at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu at the weekend, with goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski producing a fantastic performance. The capital club are undefeated in the previous eight league matches, which is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of the visit of Girona. Rayo boss Francisco has a luxury to field the best possible side against Girona.
The Catalans, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in Primera Division, but beating Vallecano in the suburbs of Madrid is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the round 13 clash. All David Lopez, Juan Carlos, Joel Roca Casals, Ricard Artero, and Toni Villa miss out with injuries, while Borja Garcia is a major doubt.
