Girona vs Villarreal Analysis
It’s been a disappointing campaign for Girona, who have compiled an 8-10-11 record this term. That gives them 34 points, but just five points clear of relegation. However, it’s extremely tight between 14th and sixth, with Girona only sitting seven points out of a spot in Europe. Things can change in a hurry for this side – in a positive or negative way, depending on the way results go.
The main reason the White and Reds are still remotely in contention for Europe is their impressive home form, especially lately. They’ve won three of their last five outings at the Estadi Montilivi, tasting defeat just once during that span. Girona’s last game at home was a 3-0 victory over Athletic Club before the 1-0 loss to Osasuna on March 21.
Villarreal are firmly on track for Champions League football next season. Marcelino’s men are comfortably in a UCL berth at the moment, grabbing 58 points from 29 games. While Atletico is right on their heels in fourth, Real Betis has only 45 points in fifth.
The Yellow Submarine heads into this clash in good form, registering a 3-1-1 record in their last five. They’ve won two of their previous three games, grabbing victories against Elche and Sociedad while drawing Alaves. Gerard Moreno, Nicolas Pepe, and Georges Mikautadze produced the goods against Sociedad. Villarreal have run riot on Girona in recent memory, and they’ve won all five of their previous visits to the Estadi Montilivi in LaLiga.
Girona vs Villarreal Injury News
Girona will be without Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Ricard Artero, Bryan Gil, Juan Carlos, Portu, and Donny van de Beek due to injury on Monday. Cristhian Stuani is also a doubt after missing the last four matches with a muscle issue and will be assessed closer to kickoff.
Villarreal are set to miss Pau Cabanes, Logan Costa, and Juan Foyth through injury. Ayoze Perez is also a doubt after sitting out the last match, although he could be fit enough for a spot on the bench.
Girona vs Villarreal Picks
I do expect Villarreal to win this fixture, but Girona has given good sides trouble this season, even beating Barcelona and drawing Real Madrid. Take the visitors to win, but Girona should get on the scoresheet and keep it competitive.
