Rayo Vallecano vs Girona: La Liga Match Preview

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 sit 11th on 42 points, while Girona are 17th with 38 points and a goal difference of -15, still looking over their shoulder near the bottom.

Rayo Vallecano Availability

Rayo face defensive and attacking absences. Luiz Felipe (Injury) is sidelined. D. Mendez (Knee Injury) is sidelined. I. Akhomach (Injury) is doubtful. None of Rayo’s listed absentees feature among the league’s top scorers or assist providers, so the core attacking output remains intact. Key forward Jorge de Frutos, with 10 league goals and 1 assist, is available and expected to carry much of the goal threat, supported by leading creator Álvaro García, who has 4 goals and 5 assists.

Girona’s list is extensive and includes both injuries and suspension. 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.

Impact Summary

Rayo retain their main attacking contributors and should be able to field their top scorer and top assist provider. Girona, by contrast, lose depth in attack and experience in goal and midfield, which could reduce their offensive variety and stability in a crucial late-season fixture.
