Rayo Vallecano hosts Girona in the first leg of the Spanish LaLiga 2 promotion playoffs final. The match will be played on Sunday, June 13th at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas (Madrid)
Rayo Vallecano looked rather unstable in the regular season. Suffice it to say that the Red Sashes finished it in 6th place, that is, they rounded out the playoff zone. They managed to outrank Sporting Gijon by only two points, and they were lucky that the opponent gained only one victory in the last four rounds. Sporting could have punished Rayo Vallecano for the defeat to Lugo in the last round. However, this misfire was the only one performed by Andoni Iraola's charges. Before that, they gained three consecutive victories and then coped with Leganes in the playoff semifinals without any particular problems. In fact, Rayo Vallecano left no chances for the Cucumber Growers in the first home leg (3-0), but the Red Sashes also gained a 2-1 victory away.

Girona played in LaLiga in 2017-2019. The debut was successful, but then the syndrome of the second season affected, and it all ended with relegation to Segunda. There the Catalans were constantly in the top six but did not reach first or second place. The last attempt to gain promotion through the playoffs was unsuccessful. But now Francisco's charges are in excellent shape. Starting from the second decade of March, they lost only once, and it happened in the match against very Rayo Vallecano on April 10. Having taken fifth place in the standings, Girona dealt with Almeria in the playoff semifinals. Everything was also decided in the first home match. Girona won it with a score of 3-0 and calmly prepared for the final. The Catalans even allowed the opponent to gain a goalless draw at home, as the main thing was to keep the players for the decisive round.
The clubs exchanged home victories in the previous season. In the current championship, Rayo Vallecano scored four out of six possible points. The home victory in April has already been mentioned, and the December match in Catalonia ended in a goalless draw. Rayo Vallecano knows how to play at home against this opponent, and now we need to remember this. We recommend betting that the home team will win again in Madrid.
Prediction for the match: Rayo Vallecano to win
