On Wednesday night, Girona and Rayo Vallecano go head-to-head at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in the last 16 of the Copa del Rey.
The Catalan team produced an underwhelming display last time out against struggling Almeria to draw 0-0. Despite the seemingly disappointing outcome, the result moved Michel’s team back to the top of La Liga.
It also means that Girona are unbeaten in 15 games in all competitions, having recorded 12 wins and three draws in the run.
The home team has also been relatively prolific of late, scoring at least two goals in six of their eight previous matches.
When it comes to the Copa del Rey, Girona have a decent record, as they have recorded three straight wins in the competition while scoring at least two goals in each victory.
However, they have an unconvincing home record in the Spanish Cup, as they have won just two of the last eight home games over 90 minutes.
The visitors booked their place in the last 16 of the competition by recording a 2-0 extra-time win over Segunda outfit Huesca. The result over 90 minutes of 0-0 means that Rayo has won just once in five games in all competitions.
Rayo’s recent games have been low-scoring affairs, as their last six games in all competitions have all produced under 2.5 goals.
Francisco’s team has been difficult to beat of late in the Copa del Rey, losing just one of their previous seven games. They have also kept clean sheets in four of the last five games in the Copa, which have all come on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Girona will record a victory in a low-scoring encounter to book their place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
