Prediction: 1-0
Girona
All eyes will be on Campo de Futbol de Vallecas when Rayo Vallecano and Girona face each other in the La Liga 2 playoffs final, first leg. Los Vallecanos impressed in back-to-back wins over Leganes, and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of Sunday’s showdown. Since Rayo Vallecano are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we predict that they are going to emerge triumphant in the first leg. Rayo boss Andoni Iraola is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation.
The Catalans, on the other hand, did well to eliminate Almeria in the double-header. Girona have been impressive at the back of late, but preventing Rayo Vallecano from scoring in the suburbs of Madrid is easier said than done. Experienced attacker Stuani missed the two-legged tie with Almeria, and he is rated doubtful for Sunday’s clash at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas.
Highlighted Player (Stole Dimitrievski):
Born in Kumanovo, North Macedonia, Stole Dimitrievski is a 190-cm-tall goalkeeper who plays for Segunda Division side Rayo Vallecano. Dimitrievski started his senior career at Rabotnicki, but he made no more than 18 appearances for the Macedonian outfit in the national championship. In the summer of 2012 he decided to move to Spain, signing a deal with Granada.
The towering shot-stopper made 90 appearances for Granada B, while playing no more than one game for the senior team. Following his spells with Gimnastic, Stole Dimitrievski moved to Rayo Vallecano. The Macedonian goalkeeper made his Rayo debut in La Liga in a 2-2 draw with Villarreal on November 11, 2018, while keeping his first clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Eibar later that month.
His preferred foot is right, and his contract with Rayo Vallecano should expire on June 30, 2024. Speaking of his international career, Dimitrievski made his full debut with the North Macedonia national team on November 12, 2015 in a 4-1 win over Montenegro.
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.
