Latest news
Girona
🎤 Girona head coach Michel shared his thoughts on his team's lackluster performance in the recent match against Osasuna (0-1): “They outperformed us in the first half, both with and without the ball. In the second half, we improved, but we failed to make an impact in attack. We need to enhance our play across all areas of the pitch to remain in La Liga.” Notably, Ajax from Amsterdam are reportedly interested in offering Michel the head coach position and are already in talks with him. The Spanish coach's contract with Girona runs until the summer of 2026, and there are currently no negotiations for an extension. This means Ajax could sign Michel without a transfer fee, only covering his salary.
❌ Girona's injury list includes Juan Carlos (knee injury), Portu (knee injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), and Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury).
Villarreal
🎤 Villarreal head coach Marcelino expressed his satisfaction with his team's performance in their 3-1 victory over Real Sociedad: "We created a lot of chances. The result, in essence, doesn't fully reflect our dominance, considering everything we did. I'm very pleased and proud of the players' efforts. We outplayed an excellent team, one of the strongest in the league right now. They came here to win, and had we been more clinical, we could have scored a few more goals. We deserved this. We're leaving very satisfied. We are 20 points ahead of this great team. We are also significantly ahead of Betis and Celta, and I don't think it's a coincidence. At this stage, we have 58 points. This says a lot about these players."
❌ Among Villarreal's injured players are Pau Cabanes (knee injury), Logan Costa (knee injury), and Juan Foyth (Achilles injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
It's noteworthy that in 5 of Girona's last 7 matches, both teams found the back of the net. A similar trend can be observed in Villarreal's previous 5 games. Looking at the average goals conceded this season: Girona allow 1.5, while Villarreal concede 1.2. A well-founded bet would be both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
Neither team is known for earning a significant number of corners per game: Girona average 4.1, and Villarreal average 3.9. In Villarreal's last 7 matches, there were no more than 10 corner kicks. Interestingly, this trend is also present in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters between these teams. Therefore, the bet to consider is Girona's individual total corners under 5.5.
Editor's Prediction
The head-to-head history favors the "Yellow Submarine." Over the last seven encounters between these teams at "Montivilli," the visiting side has always emerged victorious. The last time the "Red and Whites" celebrated a home win dates back to the Segunda Division in the 2012/13 season with a score of 2-0. The current form of both teams also suggests that the visitors are the favorites for this clash. We predict a final score of 1-2, with the key bet being Villarreal to win with a (0) handicap.
