Betting on Girona
In spite of the danger from the five teams that might overtake Girona if it loses its upcoming match against Sevilla, the squad is now ranked 12th in the La Liga standings. However, let’s take a look at how they’ve done thus far without getting worried.
Girona has a total of 18 points after 16 games in current La Liga season, with 4 wins, 6 losses, and 6 draws. Additionally, they have a goal difference of -2 and an average of 1.5 goals per game after scoring 24 goals and allowing 26, respectively.
Regarding their last five games, they are undefeated with three draws against very different teams (Real Madrid, Rayo Vallecano and Espanyol) and two wins against Athletic Bilbao and Elche.
Possible Girona lineup (4-1-4-1): Paulo Gazzaniga; Arnau Martínez, Santiago Bueno, David López, Miguel Gutiérrez; Oriol Romeu; Toni Villa, Aleix García, Yangel Herrera, Yan Couto; Cristhian Stuani.
Betting on Sevilla F.C.
On the other hand, Sevilla is on the verge of relegation, occupying position #17 in the table and tied on points with Cadiz, a team that already qualifies for relegation. Out of the 16 games played, this team has won 3 games, tied 6 and lost 7.
Despite scoring 1 goal on average each game, with 16 goals total, they have surrendered 24, giving them a -8 goal differential that is exceedingly difficult to improve. They will undoubtedly concentrate their efforts on enhancing their defense and preventing goals from being scored in upcoming games.
Their last five La Liga matches have been average, with two defeats (0-1 vs Rayo Vallecano; 1-2 vs Real Sociedad), two draws (1-1 vs Real Betis and vs Celta de Vigo) and a 2-1 win vs Getafe in which Acuña and Rafa Mir scored.
Possible Sevilla lineup (4-2-3-1): Yassine Bounou; Jesús Navas, Fernando, Tanguy Nianzou, Marcos Acuña; Nemanja Gudelj, Ivan Rakitic; Joan Jordan, Óliver Torres, Érik Lamela; Youssef En-Nesyri.
JefeBet Prediction
Both teams are under a lot of pressure, one to avoid dropping significantly in the table, and the other to avoid relegation. For this reason, it’s very likely that both teams will fight with claws and strength to overcome their opponents, even though victories have been difficult for them lately.
Prediction: A 2-2 draw.
