Girona will have the opportunity to move clear at the top of the standings this weekend with Real Madrid in action in the Spanish Super Cup. The shock high-flyers will be on the road against Almeria on Sunday in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
It would be fair to say that Girona have enjoyed a staggering start to the 2023-24 La Liga season, and they have firmly put themselves in with a chance of at least securing a Champions League finish this term. However, they could yet target a greater achievement this term, as they could move back to the summit in Spain if they are able to pick up maximum points on Sunday.
Almeria will be massive outsiders in the betting to upset the odds, as they have failed to record a single victory in 19 efforts this term. In fact, the Spanish side have picked up just five points this season, which leaves them eleven points from safety at the half way stage. Defensively, they will need to improve after already allowing 43 goals this term.
That poor run of form stretches even further back for Almeria, as they have now gone 22 matches without a victory in the league. In the history of the competition, only two sides have endured longer winless streak in Spanish history. They could go on a longer winless streak than Levante in 2022 this weekend if they fail to claim victory.
Girona will certainly be the favoured selection among many after they have impressed on the road after going nine without defeat. Seven victories have been recorded over that period, which has been their joint-best run away from home in the top-flight.
Almeria vs Girona Head to Head
These two sides have clashed on three previous occasions in La Liga. Each of the last three meetings have been won by the side with home field advantage. A total of 20 goals have been scored across the previous fixtures, meaning its average of 6.7 goals per game is the most in La Liga history.
Almeria vs Girona Prediction
Almeria’s leaky defence looks set to suffer this weekend, as Girona have been one of the best attacking teams in the competition this term. We fully expect the shock title contenders to continue their excellent record on the road, and we could see them recording a 4-1 win.
