Match Stats

Girona:

Girona enters their 36th La Liga fixture at home against Villarreal with a clear objective to fortify their bid for second place. While they've already secured a coveted spot in the top four, their focus remains on thwarting the ambitions of Villarreal, who are in pursuit of European football from their current eighth position. Despite a somewhat lackluster 2-2 draw with Alaves following their remarkable 4-2 victory over Barcelona, Girona maintains an undefeated streak in their last four matches, providing them with ample momentum for this crucial home encounter. Their dominance at home this season is evident not only from their current run of five consecutive home wins but also from their unbeaten streak of 14 matches at home across all competitions. However, Girona's defensive resilience, with just seven clean sheets out of 18 home matches, remains a point of concern as they seek to secure another crucial victory.


Villarreal:

Villarreal heads into their encounter against Girona at the Estadi Montilivi with a determination to redeem themselves following a 2-1 home defeat earlier in the season, which halted their previous five-match winning streak against the upcoming opponents. Positioned in the middle of the La Liga table, Villarreal still harbors hopes of securing a top-six finish, providing them with added motivation for this fixture. Their spirits are buoyed by their recent thrilling 3-2 victory over Sevilla, where Alexander Sørloth's 90th-minute winner kept them firmly in the race for European football. However, defensive frailties have plagued Villarreal in recent matches, with just two clean sheets in their last 14 outings and a concerning trend of conceding goals, exemplified by their recent five-goal concession in two matches. Furthermore, Villarreal's away form has been inconsistent, with only six wins in 17 away La Liga matches and a 13-game streak without a clean sheet on the road, highlighting the challenges they face as they seek a positive result against Girona.


Prediction:  Girona 1-1 Villarreal
