Match Analysis

Girona's recent form has been somewhat inconsistent, with a loss to league leaders Barcelona and back-to-back draws against Valencia and Espanyol. Notably, Girona seems to struggle defensively, having conceded an average of 1.6 goals per match in their last five encounters, and failing to keep a clean sheet. Offensively, they have managed to score an average of 1.4 goals per game, with a similar expected goals statistic (1.34), indicating they are performing around expectations. Alaves, on the other hand, recently enjoyed a victory against Villarreal but faltered with a loss to Vallecano and a draw with Las Palmas. Defensively, they have also conceded an average of 1.6 goals in their last five matches, but they stand out with a clean sheet in one of these games. Alaves have been slightly more prolific in front of goal compared to Girona, with an average of 1.8 goals scored, though their expected goals figure (1.268) suggests they may have been somewhat fortunate.

Final Prediction

Girona's predicted edge stems from their home advantage and slightly better position in the league standings. However, with both teams showing defensive vulnerabilities, the game could hinge on which side can capitalize on the other's defensive lapses. Keep an eye on Girona's ability to break down Alaves' defense, as this could be the deciding factor in the match.
