Girona take on the visitors Almeria in the round 22 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, February 17th at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Girona attracted representatives of the City Football Group at one time. Of course, the Emirati holding pays much less attention to the Spanish “branch” than Manchester City. But with him a couple of years ago, it was possible to achieve the right to debut in the LaLiga – then Gironaistas spent 2 years in a row there. Returning to the Segunda, they constantly "stormed" promotion on an identical principle. There was not enough strength for 1-2 places, but the club played in the playoffs all the time. The 3rd attempt was successful, despite the fact that in the “regular season” it was literally a miracle that they caught on to 6th place. Of course, given this newcomer was considered as a clear outsider of this tempo. However, Girona regularly take points, increasing the gap from the relegation zone. Yes, in January it all ended in defeats 0-1, but Villarreal and Barcelona, but then they beat Valencia with the same result. But with organized Cadiz it did not work out, they won 2-0 at home.

Almeria many seasons in LaLiga from 2007 to 2015. But there was a difficult period after that, when little was achieved even after the arrival of a new, rich and ambitious owner, Turki al-Sheikh. Only with second mentor, Ruby, and only on the 2nd attempt, the new owner managed to achieve the desired result: the 2021/2022 season ended with the victory of the “red-white” in Segunda. It was interesting to what extent such a team would be ready to play at a higher level. Especially considering the fact that Sadiq Umar, who started to score, was sold. However, El-Bilal Toure, urgently bought in his place, has already managed to score a lot of goals. With his help Almeria were able to pass this season quite confidently, often winning and constantly gaining points. After a pause, in the winter, they took draws not only with Cadiz and Valencia, but also with Atlético, and won 3-1 against Espanyol. In the last round, the “red-whites” took on “Betis”, and, having twice equalized the score with, in the end they still lost 2-3.
Recently, the balance of power in the pair has been quite equal, and in the Segunda in the 2021/2022 draw, the clubs exchanged victories. Already in LaLiga Almeria won at home 3-2 in October last year. Both rookie clubs La Liga will not refuse to win in this match, so we can expect a tough fight and an exchange of goals again. We bet on “over 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
