Rayo Vallecano vs Girona Match Preview

Match Context

Rayo Vallecano host Girona at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in Madrid on 2026-05-11 in La Liga, Regular Season - 35. Rayo come into this round 11th on 42 points with a goal difference of -6, while Girona sit 17th on 38 points and a goal difference of -15.

Rayo Vallecano Availability

Rayo face multiple defensive and attacking concerns. Luiz Felipe (Injury) is sidelined. D. Mendez (Knee Injury) is sidelined. I. Akhomach (Injury) is doubtful. None of these absentees appear among the league’s top scorers or assist providers, but they do reduce depth, particularly in wide attacking options with Akhomach’s uncertain status.

Girona Availability

Girona’s list of absentees is extensive. B. Gil (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension. Juan Carlos (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Portu (Knee Injury) is sidelined. A. Ruiz (Muscle Injury) is sidelined. V. Vanat (Injury) is sidelined. M. ter Stegen (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined. D. van de Beek (Achilles Tendon Injury) is sidelined. This combination of suspension, attacking losses, and a key goalkeeping absence significantly stretches their rotation.

Impact Summary

Rayo’s main attacking reference, Jorge de Frutos (10 league goals, 1 assist), and leading creator Álvaro García (4 goals, 5 assists) are both available, preserving their primary attacking output. Girona, already with a negative goal difference, lose several forwards and a goalkeeper, which could further blunt their attack and complicate their defensive stability.
