Team Analysis
Since returning to La Liga in the 2022-2023 season, Girona has seen a significant boost in overall strength, thanks to strong club support. Last season, they finished with a record of 25 wins, 6 draws, and 7 losses over 38 matches, securing a spot in the Champions League group stage by finishing third in the league. However, in the new season, Girona seems to be struggling to find their form. After losing 0-2 to Valencia in the last round, they have suffered two consecutive defeats and currently sit in 12th place in the standings.

Rayo Vallecano earned promotion from La Liga 2 in the 2020-2021 season. In recent years, the team has successfully completed their relegation battles in La Liga. Last season, they finished with a record of 8 wins, 14 draws, and 16 losses, finishing 5 points above the relegation zone. In the new season, Rayo Vallecano's start has been relatively solid. After drawing 1-1 with Atlético Madrid at home in the last round, they currently have 2 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, placing them in mid-table.

Odds Analysis
Last season, Girona climbed to third place in the league, and in their home match against Rayo Vallecano, they moved from a -1 handicap to -0.75. This season, based on their current performance, Girona has not continued the strong form from last season and is currently on a losing streak, while Rayo Vallecano is in mid-table and ranked even higher than Girona. Therefore, the fact that Girona is still given a -0.75 handicap for this match indicates support from the data providers, making the home victory a direction worth backing.

Pick: Girona -0.75.
