Sevilla vs Girona Prediction 8 February 2026
🔊 What surprises might await in the clash between teams fighting to stay in the top flight? One of the highlights of Saturday's La Liga lineup is the showdown between Sevilla and Girona at the “Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.” Both sides are in a slump, with structural issues only worsening their situations. The constant managerial changes are not helping the "Nervionenses," while Míchel is still struggling to tighten the screws for the "White and Reds." Thanks to the home advantage and several statistical trends, bookmakers give Matías Almeyda's squad twice the odds of success.
Head-to-Head
📊 The head-to-head history between Sevilla and Girona includes 11 matches. Let's note the outcomes in this span: 5 victories for the Nervionenses and 6 wins for the Blanquivermells. In the first round of the current championship, Matías Almeyda's squad triumphed at Montilivi with a 2-0 scoreline. Goals from Alfonso González and Isaac Romero sealed the result.
Head-to-head statistics Sevilla - Girona
Sevilla Team Overview
🔴 The "Nervionenses" continue to struggle significantly in securing points. Over their last six La Liga fixtures, the team has managed just one victory. Currently, Sevilla sit 15th in the standings, a mere two points above the relegation zone. It's crucial to note that Matias Almeyda's side has the least effective defensive line in the league, conceding an average of 1.68 goals per game. Despite this, the Argentine coach still enjoys the backing of the club's management. Whether he can justify this trust will be revealed in the remainder of the season.
⚪ In their last league outing, Sevilla suffered a surprising defeat to Mallorca (1-4). A completely irresponsible performance from the "Nervionenses" resulted in a heavy loss. The lack of compactness across the lines and ineffective roles for the players were key factors in this debacle. The only goal for Sevilla came from newcomer Neal Maupay. The French forward joined the "Red and Whites" during the last transfer window from Marseille. Matias Almeyda is aiming to build a team that dominates possession, utilizing a 5-3-2 formation as the tactical foundation. However, without proper combination play, it's unlikely that Sevilla will pose a significant threat to their opponents.

Girona Team Overview
⚪ The "White-Reds" are enduring their weakest season in recent years. Their inability to retain key players and lack of ambition in the transfer market have led to a structural crisis. However, the management's faith in Michel remains intact, which is understandable given that the Spanish manager is largely a victim of circumstances. Currently, Girona sit in 12th place in the standings, just three points clear of the relegation zone. In recent matches, Girona have shown decent form, suffering only one defeat in their last five games.
🔴 Interestingly, Girona have been quite effective on the road, collecting 12 points from 11 away games, ranking them 8th in the league. In their last outing, the "White-Reds" visited "Nuevo Carlos Tartiere," but failed to find success there, losing 0-1. Their sterile possession and lack of creativity from attacking players resulted in a zero on the scoreboard. Michel is a tactically astute coach who doesn't stick to a single formation. The classic 4-3-3 is rarely employed by Girona's players. In their previous match, the "White-Reds" attempted to overload the midfield with a narrow 4-3-2-1 setup. The team's top scorer is Vladyslav Vanat, with 7 goals in 19 league appearances.

Latest news
Sevilla
📰 Just recently, Neal Maupay was officially unveiled at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán Stadium as Sevilla's new player. Here's what the Frenchman had to say during his presentation: "I've come to this great club ready to give my all. I'm happy with this decision because I believe that with the team's quality and the players we have, there's a fantastic structure here to turn things around. I felt really good. As a team, we've made some mistakes, and it cost us victories, but in every training session, we see how the coach is watching over us. I'm excited to play again and regain my form. I have confidence in myself and my teammates. We want to succeed and finish the season strong. Sevilla have had a lot of success in the past, and it's a club with a rich history. It's a huge responsibility."
❌ In Sevilla's infirmary are Castrin (muscle injury) and Marcán (knee injury).
Girona
🎤 Girona's head coach Michel reflected on his team's 1-0 loss to Real Oviedo in the last round: "We controlled the game, but we need to create more chances, be more decisive, and play more vertically in the final phase of our attacks. We had around 60% possession, but that's not enough if you're not hurting the opponent. We lacked that final step in the attacking third, which is the most crucial part of football. There comes a point when you shouldn't make another pass. You have to shoot, cross, and attack the box aggressively. This is something we can learn. You can't score if you don't take shots."
📰 Incredibly sad news came with the injury to Marc-André ter Stegen-the German goalkeeper suffered a hamstring injury. Here's what the 33-year-old had to say in his message to Girona fans: "Last weekend, the worst happened: I got injured during the match. I had just arrived in Girona, where I was warmly welcomed from the first moment. I was really looking forward to becoming part of the team and helping achieve our common goal. Now my role has completely changed, but my support for the team remains unwavering. It's not just a great group of players and coaching staff; it's like a family, and from the start, I've felt their support and closeness. But you should know that I will return."
❌ Girona's injury list includes Ricard Artero (ankle injury), Juan Carlos (knee injury), Alex Moreno (muscle injury), Azzedine Ounahi (calf injury), Portu (knee injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), and Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's note that both clubs are struggling defensively. Consider the average number of goals conceded by each side in the current La Liga season: Sevilla are at 1.7 (20th in the league), while Girona are at 1.6 (19th in the league). Moreover, Sevilla have failed to keep a clean sheet for seven consecutive games. Our editorial choice is both teams to score (yes).
🚩 Corner Prediction
In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head matches, there have been at least 11 corner kicks. The lack of compactness in the lines will likely lead to frequent flank threats from both sides. Let's note the average number of corners observed in matches involving each team this season: Sevilla with 10.3 and Girona with 9. It's reasonable to choose the following event - total corners over 8.5.
Editor's Prediction
Both sides are in desperate need of points, as battling for survival in the final rounds of the championship is not part of the plans for the "Nervionenses" and the "White-Reds". However, this intense desire could also lead to significant issues, given their lack of tactical organization, which might result in numerous blunders and individual mistakes, creating plenty of scoring opportunities. We predict a final score of 2-2, with the key bet being both teams to score (yes).
