Villareal vs Girona

H2H Villareal vs Girona

Villareal vs Girona have faced each other 8 times in the top Spanish division. Let’s take a look at the outcome statistics: 5 victories for the “Yellow Submarine” and 3 wins for the “Girona”. Last season, the “Ceramica” witnessed a narrow success for the “red and whites” with a score of 2:1, but at “Montilivi”, Marcelino’s men took revenge – 1:0, thanks to a winning goal from Bertrand Traore.

VILLARREAL

This season, Villarreal has suffered only 2 defeats: against Barcelona (1:5) and Real Madrid (0:2). In the last round, the “Yellow Submarine” was close to a third failure, but a penalty converted by Gerard Moreno in the 93rd minute prevented it – a draw against Osasuna (2:2). Currently, Villarreal is in 4th place in the standings with 25 points. Note that the club from Villarreal is among the most productive in La Liga – about 1.92 goals per game (3rd result in the league). Significant contributions are made by the following players: Ayoze Perez (7 goals), Thierno Barry (3 goals and 2 assists), Alejandro Baena (2 goals and 5 assists). The “Yellow Submarine” continues to struggle with injuries. Still in the infirmary are Ilias Akhomach, Alfonso Pedraza, Eric Bailly, Pape Gueye, Kiko Femenia, Nicolas Pepe, and Ayoze Perez.

GIRONA

The “red and whites” faced additional pressure midweek with a European match against Austrian Sturm. Moreover, Michel’s men failed to secure crucial points against a clear underdog – 0:1. Now the Spanish team finds itself in an unenviable position – an interim 30th place. In the national championship, the club from the city of Girona is gradually correcting its early-season situation and has won three consecutive rounds. Currently, Girona is very close to the zone allowing for European competition play – an interim 7th place with 21 points in their pocket. The “red and whites” have yet to adequately replace Artem Dovbyk, who left for Italian Roma last summer. Nevertheless, let’s mention Girona’s most productive players at this stage of the season: Cristian Stuani (4 goals), Bryan Gil (2 goals and 3 assists), Yangel Herrera (2 goals and 1 assist), and Bojan Miovski (2 goals and 1 assist).

GOALS PREDICTION

The “red and whites” have conceded at least one goal from Villarreal in their last 7 head-to-head meetings. Given the excellent attacking play of the “Yellow Submarine”, there is little doubt that Marcelino’s men will extend this pleasant trend. It is also worth noting that in 4 out of the last 5 encounters involving Villarreal, there were at least three goals scored. Our choice is over 2.5 goals.

CORNERS PREDICTION

In Villarreal’s last 9 matches, there has been no abundance of corner kicks – no more than 10 in each game. The same story characterizes 4 out of Girona’s last 5 encounters. Let’s focus on the average number of corner kicks in matches involving each team: with the “Yellow Submarine” – around 9.2, with the “red and whites” – approximately 8.3. We will settle on the following event – total corners under 10.5.

MATCH PREDICTION

It is extremely important to consider that Villarreal had several more days of rest compared to Girona. For maintaining high-intensity football, this factor can become crucial. Moreover, the “Yellow Submarine” this season has only lost to the reigning national champion and the interim leader of the current campaign. It is unlikely that such an unstable Girona will offer something extraordinary to Villarreal at “Ceramica”. For example, a 3:1 final score is quite a likely outcome. The key bet is Villarreal win.
