Espanyol - Girona predictions

Beating Girona will not be easy, but we believe Espanyol are more than capable of doing so. The matchup is somewhat balanced, after all, so all three possible outcomes are still on the table.

Girona are regarded as favourites, but that doesn’t mean they can relax. With an almost negligible difference in the perceived strength of these two teams, sub-standard play is a recipe for disaster.

Espanyol will head into the Monday clash on a big wave of confidence following their Villarreal away draw. They return home after keeping it level both at the halftime mark and after the final whistle despite being made overwhelming underdogs in their last game.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous La Liga game and win the bout, finishing 2:2 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

Espanyol will be looking to extend their current streak. They’ve recently recorded more than 7 consecutive games in which they’ve scored at least once.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Girona’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

We are well into the second half of the La Liga season and Espanyol are starting to feel the heat. The home side currently sit in 15th with only 3 points keeping them above the relegation zone. They are priced at unfavourable 3.16 to beat Girona this Monday and will have every reason to feel worried ahead of this fixture.

We already have a clash between these teams to use as a reference point. Earlier in the season, Girona walked to a comfortable victory. It seems that the 2.45 odds make a lot of sense, considering the information at hand.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 2.45 odds are worth it in terms of value.
