A memorable season for Girona has shown no signs of stopping throughout the second half of the season, as their place in next season’s Champions League has been assured. They will be looking to maintain their form when Villarreal come to town on Tuesday.
La Liga Preview
Girona have defied all expectations this term to achieve a finish in the Champions League spots in Spain. They are on course to achieve one of their best-ever campaigns, as they sit second in the La Liga standings after 35 rounds of matches. Girona have returned to form in recent weeks after going four without a defeat, claiming three wins over that period.
Villarreal have also shown some fine consistency throughout the second half of the season, and they appear on course to finish in the top half of the standings. The Spanish side have won three of their last four matches in the league, and a victory on Tuesday could potentially see them end the round in eighth place.
Girona have been in excellent form in home matches played on a Tuesday, winning each of their last two. Meanwhile, Villarreal have lost three times in succession in matches played on the road on a Tuesday. Girona’s return to form could be a key factor to consider this week.
The Spanish side have now won three of their last four in the competition, and have remained unbeaten across that sequence. That means that they have picked up as many wins over this period than they had in their previous nine league matches, which included five defeats.
Girona vs Villarreal Head to Head
The hosts have an excellent recent record in this fixture after winning three of their last seven matches against Villarreal. However, they have also suffered four defeats over that period. Villarreal’s away record against Girona deserves respect this week, as they have won on all three La Liga visits to their rivals. Meanwhile, Girona have won just twice in ten home matches against Villarreal across all competitions.
Girona vs Villarreal Prediction
Girona’s record in this fixture has been historically poor, and they have really struggled in La Liga home matches against their rivals. For that reason, it could be worth siding with the points being shared at Montilivi on Tuesday.
