Girona form and stats

Girona have collected 14 points from their La Liga 2 home games so far after 4-2-3. Hopes of three in a row are alive for Girona after consecutive victories at their own ground.

It's back home for Girona, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Calvo Sotelo away with the result 5-1. Ricard Artero, Dawda Camara, Eric Monjonell, Aleix García and Samuel Sáiz found the net in that victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Girona played a great game against Calvo Sotelo and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Heartbreak before that as Girona lost 2-4 at SD Eibar's place.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Girona have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eleven matches with the results: Won eight, drawn one and lost two.

Girona are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 9 games. It's worth mentioning that 6 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Girona's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times.
