Girona form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 2 defeats. That’s what Girona have to build on here at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in the La Liga.

The regulars hope that Girona will fight back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away defeat in the Copa Del Rey fixture against Cacereno. Terrats was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.34 out of 10. The defender Terrats won 10 of 16 duels.

Before that game, a fine away victory at Quintanar del Rey (after extra-time). A Copa Del Rey game. This is expected to be a close game, with Girona perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Girona as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Girona has won 5 of these, drawn 3 and lost 2.

Both teams score at least one goal! That has occurred in 11 league rounds in a row for this club. Could it happen again?

A decent goal production from Girona in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Girona have conceded 11 from these games.
