Girona take on the visitors Espanyol in the round 27 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 1st at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
In the La Liga standings, Girona sits in 12th place, but in reality, they are only five points away from the relegation zone. And why is that? Because the team has recently started to falter. Girona's defense is playing very unreliably under Michel's leadership, and their bold attack also cannot always produce results. Just imagine, Girona has only kept a clean sheet once in 26 championship matches this season! And in five of their last six La Liga games, they have conceded more than one goal. I don't think we can expect a "shutout" from the home team's goalkeeper in the upcoming round.

Espanyol are four points behind Girona and only one point ahead of Valencia, who is in the relegation zone. The fight for survival in La Liga is still ahead for the "Parrots"! Like the hosts, their defense is not shining at all and they consistently concede goals. However, Diego Martinez's team's attack is more than fine. The team has been scoring in the championship for 12 rounds in a row, and out of 26 such matches, they have left the field without scoring only three times, never disappointing their opponent. In the last five away matches in La Liga, the "Parrots" consistently scored goals, regardless of whether it was against modest Elche and Valladolid, or even Real Madrid.
Bookmakers favor the hosts in this match. Well, I won't argue with them, but I won't agree either. I'll just wait for the guests to organize their goal, which is highly likely. Espanyol have been consistently disappointing their opponents recently, at least once per game, regardless of their status or location. Girona's defense cannot be called reliable, as the team has conceded 41 goals in 26 rounds. Michel's team adheres to an open style of football, loves to attack, and gives space for their opponents' attacks. In three out of four recent personal meetings, Espanyol scored at least one goal against this opponent. I expect at least one goal from the guests now.
Prediction for the match: Espanyol to score – yes.
