One of the standout teams over the opening month of action in Spain will be back in action on Wednesday. Girona are one of just two Spanish sides yet to suffer a defeat this term, and they will be looking to move to the top of the standings with maximum points against Villarreal on Wednesday.
It has been an excellent start to the new La Liga season for Girona, and even the team themselves couldn’t have believed that they would be sitting second in the standings after the opening six rounds of matches. The Spanish side could move to the top of the league standings this week if they are able to pick up maximum points against Villarreal.
Girona should come into this fixture in excellent confidence, as they have won each of their last five since drawing on the opening day of the campaign. Their excellent winning run was maintained on Saturday, as they landed a huge 5-3 home win against Mallorca. Yangel Herrera, Savio, and David Lopez were all among the scorers in that fixture.
Villarreal comes into this home match sitting 12th in the current standings. They have won just once across their last four matches in the competition, and they have won just twice in six at the start of the season. But, a victory this week could take them into the top six spots.
Villarreal will be hoping for a response on Wednesday, as they could only take a point from their most recent fixture against Rayo Vallecano. Both efforts in that match were netted in the opening 16 minutes, with Alexander Sorloth finding the net for Villarreal.
Bet hereVillarreal has an excellent recent record in this fixture, as they have won each of their last three against Girona. That includes the league double over their rivals last term. Each of Girona’s last two wins against Villarreal have been recorded on the road, with the most recent of those coming in August 2018.
Girona’s excellent start to the season is the obvious betting angle this week. However, it could be worth siding with Villarreal, who have shaded the recent clashes between the two sides in La Liga. A chance will be taken on the home side on Wednesday.
