Villarreal form and stats

Villarreal have played three La Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 3 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

Villarreal shared the glory with Rayo Vallecano in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1.

Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Panathinaikos in the Europa League.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Villarreal as they are travelling to their away game against Getafe in the La Liga. That match is three days after this one.

Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Villarreal with 7 goals conceded in these matches.

Girona form and stats

Girona are happy with their away performances in the La Liga so far, having secured two victories and one draw from their first three travels.

Girona go into this game after a win, the home game against Mallorca that ended 5-3. A mental fixture with heaps of goals last time out for Girona, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as enjoying? Midfield player Sávio was the top player of the team with a match rating of 9.31/10. Sávio scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 24 successful passes (of 28 total).

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Granada at their stadium, the result 4-2.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Girona playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 3 Girona wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat.

A quick return to home after this game, as Girona are hosting Real Madrid in the La Liga only three days away.

Girona have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 7 goals from 3 away matches. As opposed to that, Girona have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
