Rayo Vallecano to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nRayo have lost just one of their last four against Girona, including a convincing 3-1 away win earlier this season. Girona have conceded 51 goals so far, the worst of any mid-table side, and Rayo’s xG figures suggest they’re due more goals than they’ve scored.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams To Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/6 @ Bet365<\/a>
(60.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nGirona average over a goal per game and are more efficient shooters than Rayo, but their leaky back line means both teams have scored in five of the last six H2Hs. Rayo’s attacking stats suggest they should get on the scoresheet at home.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
