Former Rayo Vallecano player and manager Michel will take his high-flying Girona side to Vallecas for Saturday's clash with Francisco's charges.
The visitors have exceeded all expectations this season to establish a two-point lead at the top of the league table, while Rayo head into the weekend in ninth position.
Since losing 7-0 and 1-0 to Atletico Madrid and Real Betis respectively, Los Franjirrojos have proven to be a tough team to beat, having won three and drawn six of their last nine games across all competitions.
In their most recent outing, Rayo produced a resolute display to hold Real Madrid to a goalless draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, with the result representing their first away point against Los Blancos since March 2000.
After becoming just the second team to stop Real Madrid from scoring in a home league game in 2023, Los Franjirrojos have now kept six clean sheets in their 12 La Liga games - only Carlo Ancelotti's side and Barcelona have recorded the same amount.
