Roberto Morales, a well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator, shared his expectations for today's Spanish league match between Girona and Rayo Vallecano.
Roberto Morales- Not long ago, the sensational leader of the Primera Division risked being relegated to third place if Rayo lost in the match on Matchday 26.
Some even talked about Girona's hopes for the title. If they did, which I personally doubt, they suffered greatly in the last two rounds. Seven goals conceded by Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, two defeats and three consecutive matches without a win. The match against the Basque Lions was particularly revealing - the Catalans tried to play their trademark attacking card, but their two goals were countered by three goals from the opposition.
Michel Sanchez will meet again with the club that is very important in his career - almost 16 years of playing in the first team and seven years of coaching in the Madrid structure. He will be able to use Jan Kouto, who has served his suspension, and David Lopez, who has recovered from injury. He has not played since 21 December.
On 2 January, Rayo defeated Getafe 2-0. Since then, the team has not won in six league games, losing four of them. Currently, the team is in 14th place and has changed its coach. Iñigo Pérez was Andoni Iraola's assistant and came from England to work independently as a successor to the ideas of Rayo's most successful coach in recent times. In the previous round, the club from Vazquez drew with Real Madrid.
In this game, it will be interesting to watch not only our duo Tsygankov-Dovbyk, but also the confrontation in the centre of the field between two orchestral men Aleix Garcia and Oscar Valentin. The bet is that the hosts will not lose and both teams will score goals," Morales said.
