Rayo Vallecano vs Girona Match Preview: La Liga Clash

Match Context

Rayo Vallecano host Girona at Campo de Futbol de Vallecas in Madrid on 11 May 2026, in La Liga Regular Season - 35. Rayo Vallecano come into the fixture 11th on 42 points, while Girona sit 17th with 38 points, still looking over their shoulder in the battle to avoid the drop.

Rayo Vallecano Availability

Rayo have several defensive and attacking concerns. Luiz Felipe (Injury) is sidelined. D. Mendez (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Ilias Akhomach (Injury) is doubtful. None of Rayo’s listed absentees feature among the league’s top scorers or assist providers, so their main creative threats remain intact.

Girona Availability

Girona travel with a lengthy absentee list. Bryan Gil (Yellow Cards) is sidelined through suspension. Juan Carlos (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Portu (Knee Injury) is sidelined. Abel 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 injuries and suspension strips depth from both attack and goalkeeping options.

Impact Summary

Rayo Vallecano retain their leading scorer Jorge de Frutos (10 goals, 1 assist) and top creator Álvaro García (4 goals, 5 assists), preserving most of their attacking output. Girona, by contrast, lose multiple forwards and an attacking midfielder, significantly reducing their rotation and goal threat for a crucial survival clash.
