Girona form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Girona so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-6 (win-draw-lose). Girona seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?
Girona are travelling after their nice 6-2 home win in the match against Almeria (placed 16th). As you can tell from the results above, Girona was very dominant against Almeria, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 6-2 (!) with Hernández, Tsygankov, Riquelme, Castellanos, Martín and Stuani providing the goals. Midfielder Riquelme was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 8.42. Riquelme scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 3 of 6 times and had 23 successful passes (of 28 total).
Prior to that match, the Girona manager Muñoz faced defeat when travelling to Cádiz and losing 0-2.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.

Results were 0 away wins, 2 draws and 2 home wins.
