Command Analysis
Girona
SpainCurrent Form
After consecutive victories in the third and fourth rounds of La Liga, Girona fans were hopeful about a turnaround. However, three losses in the tournament have since brought them back to reality. Their latest defeat came against Valencia (0-2), who started that match at the bottom of La Liga, and the Catalans appeared toothless, managing just three shots on target. Expectations for a swift recovery are high, as a packed schedule of four matches in the next two weeks, including three at Montilivi, looms ahead.

Rayo Vallecano
SpainCurrent Form
Rayo Vallecano holds a slight advantage over today's hosts with one point, recently earning a commendable 1-1 draw in the capital derby against Atletico Madrid on Sunday. They had a chance to secure more, leading the match at one point.

Both teams have shown inconsistency at the start, yet they deliver an abundance of offensive plays and scoring chances. The home side is likely to push forward from the very beginning, but the visitors will surely respond, driven by the desire to avenge their previous losses.
