The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Rayo Vallecano lock horns with an impressive Girona side in an important clash at the Estadio de Vallecas on Saturday.
Rayo Vallecano vs Girona Preview
Girona are currently at the top of the La Liga standings and have consistently punched above their weight so far this season. The Catalan outfit eased past Osasuna by a 4-2 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
