Sevilla endured a miserable campaign last term domestically, and they will be keen to avoid another fight at the wrong end of the standings. However, they will come up against a challenging opposition this weekend, as Girona sit high in the current standings.
La Liga Preview
The 2022-23 season was a huge disappointment for Sevilla, as they battled at the wrong end of the standings throughout the campaign. However, after landing Europa League glory at the end of last season, there was hope that they could make a renewed bid for a top four place in 2023-24.
But, the initial signs of that promise haven’t been there, as they sit 18th in the current standings. They were handed another blow in their most recent outing, as they suffered a 4-3 defeat on the road against newly promoted Alaves. Despite managing just two shots on target, Sevilla scored three goals, and they looked incredibly short in the final third of the field. That would be a pressing concern ahead of this weekend.
Girona have looked like one of the teams capable of outperforming their odds this term, as they have started the new season by going two without defeat. They were excellent on the road in their opener against Real Sociedad by picking up a point, before they cruised to a first win against Getafe last Sunday.
Girona bossed proceedings in their second match of the season, and they were clinical in front of goal, having hit the target from six of their seven attempted shots. They landed a 3-0 win in their first home match of the new season, with Cristhian Stuani scoring twice.
Sevilla vs Girona Head to Head
This will be the seventh recent clash between the two sides. The overall record shows that they match up very evenly, with both sides landing three wins apiece. However, Girona have dominated the meetings in recent seasons, as they have won each of the last three. That includes a league double over Sevilla last term.
Sevilla vs Girona Prediction
Sevilla’s start to the new season is a huge concern ahead of this fixture. Girona have been very impressive across the opening two matchdays, and their healthy record in this fixture is hard to overlook. Therefore, we will be siding with a win for the visitors.
