After reaching the Conference League final, Rayo Vallecano returns to LaLiga action.
– Having failed to win any of their first seven matches against Girona in LaLiga (3 draws, 4 losses), Rayo Vallecano has won each of their last two encounters with the Girona side in the top flight.
– At home, Rayo Vallecano has won only one of its last four fixtures across all competitions against Girona (1 draw, 2 losses), after having won four of its previous five home matches against them (1 loss).
– Rayo Vallecano has not won any of its last five Monday matches in LaLiga (3 draws, 2 losses), drawing the last three. Meanwhile, Girona has not lost any of its last five Monday games in the competition (3 wins, 2 draws).
– Rayo Vallecano has won three of its last five LaLiga matches (1 draw, 1 loss), matching the number of wins from its previous 19 matches in the competition (3 wins, 9 draws, 7 losses).
– Girona has not won any of its last four LaLiga matches (1 draw, 3 losses), losing the last three. The team has not suffered four or more consecutive defeats in a single LaLiga campaign since April 2025 (4 losses).
– While Rayo Vallecano is the team that has scored the fewest goals in the first 15 minutes of matches in LaLiga this season (two, tied with Real Oviedo and Getafe), Girona has the highest percentage of goals conceded in the first 15 minutes after halftime (27% – 14 out of 51).
– Sergio Camello has scored in each of his last three LaLiga matches (three goals) and could become the third player to score in four or more consecutive matches for Rayo Vallecano in the 21st century, following Elvir Bolic in 2022 (four consecutive) and Miku Fedor in 2016 (five consecutive).

After not losing any of his first five matches against the Vallecas side in LaLiga (2 wins, 3 draws), he has lost the last two against them in the top flight.
– After losing his first LaLiga match against Girona, 3-0 in February 2024, Rayo Vallecano manager Iñigo Pérez has not lost any of the last three meetings in the competition (2 wins, 1 draw), winning the last two.
