Betting on Girona FC
This Saturday, Girona faces one of their biggest challenges of the season before they take on Barcelona in the next matchday. The team will be hosting Espanyol in a must-win game.
Currently sitting in 13th place in the standings, the team coached by Míchel is just five points ahead of Valencia, the last team in the relegation zone.
Girona has been struggling lately, going winless for three games. The team’s defense has been its Achilles’ heel throughout the season, conceding 41 goals in 26 matches played. Also, the team has allowed two or more goals in five of its last six games.
The good news is that Girona has been solid at home, winning 21 out of 39 possible points. The team has scored 23 goals in its own stadium, ranking fourth in the league, and have only remained scoreless three times in 13 home matches.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Paulo Gazzaniga; Arnau Martinez, Santiago Bueno, David López, Juanpe; Oriol Romeu; Viktor Tsygankov, Iván Martín, Borja García, Rodrigo Riquelme; Valentín Castellanos.
Betting on Real Club Deportivo Espanyol
If Girona’s situation is worrying, Espanyol’s is much worse, the team is in much worse shape and could be heading straight for the relegation zone.
The Perico team has suffered three losses in a row, and with just 25 points, it only has a one-point lead over Valencia, which is currently in the last position that would send them down to the second division.
The team coached by Diego Martínez is struggling defensively, and it has conceded eight goals in its recent losing streak. Such a performance is not characteristic of this team, and it couldn’t have come at a worse time.
But don’t count Espanyol out just yet! The team may have lost three out of its last four games, but it only failed to score in one of its 13 away matches this season. So, there’s still a chance to turn things around.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Fernando Pacheco; Óscar Gil, Leandro Cabrera, José Gragera, Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel; Sergi Darder, Vinicius Souza; Denis Suárez, Martin Braithwaite, Rubén Sánchez; Joselu.
JefeBet Prediction
If you want to see some goals this upcoming Saturday, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to tune into the match between Girona vs Espanyol.
Both teams have been struggling defensively in recent weeks, but their attacks have been in sync in front of the goal.

Prediction: Both teams score (GIR 1 – ESP 1).
