La Liga: The mid-table spots shows the journey Sevilla and Girona have taken uptil now. Both sides are ready for the game; let's bake this cake!
- Sevilla have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
These teams have little in common geographically as Girona have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Only a few days to rest for the hosting team, as they featured in a La Liga game only four days earlier. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Athletic Club.
Sevilla form and stats
The story so far in the La Liga for Sevilla at their home stadium (Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán) is 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
Sevilla enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Athletic Club's place. The match ended 1-0 with Ocampos scoring. A late climax in the match against Athletic Club as the winning goal came two minutes into overtime; scored by Ocampos. Badé, defender, was given a rating of 7.31/10 in that game, top of the team. Badé won 3 of 5 duels.
Before that, Sevilla had a home game versus Villarreal which ended with a victory 2-1.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sevilla have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 9 games) they have won 6 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Espanyol are coming to town in three days.

Girona form and stats
There's been little loot from Girona's travels as they have only collected 11 points from 15 away games in the La Liga. Girona only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws.
Girona are travelling after their nice 4-2 home win in the match against Real Madrid (placed 2nd). As you can tell from the result, the match against Real Madrid was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Castellanos certainly enjoyed Girona's last game versus Real Madrid, appearing multiple times in the match report with four goals and the 4-2 victory. Attacker Castellanos got a player rating of 10.0 in the game. "Man of the match" Castellanos scored four goals.
Prior to that match, the Girona manager Muñoz faced defeat when travelling to Real Valladolid and losing 0-1.Girona are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats. From a total of 6 matches.
A quick return to home after this game, as Girona are hosting Mallorca in the La Liga only three days away.
Girona find the net regularly in their away games. 17 goals from 15 away fixtures in the league. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
