The visiting Espanyol are not doing much better these days. In the last 4 fixtures, they attained only 2 points. They faced the upper table sides though – like Athletic Bilbao (registered a draw against them), Sevilla, the fourth-placed Getafe, and Barcelona. Given this calendar, there shouldn’t be many claims against them. As for the placement, Espanyol sit 1 line above Girona and run only 1 point ahead.
There is not much point in predicting winners in the clash of the neighboring sides who tend to near the relegation. On the one hand, the record of the opponents’ 6 meetings favors Girona (4 victories); on the other, Espanyol succeeded twice, both wins were attained at the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in Girona. Yet, a goal exchange may be expected. Espanyol scored in 10 of 15 outings. They did not find the net only against the leaders – Valencia, Getafe, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona – and the 10th Eibar, but they allowed in 13 matches on the road. This time, they will neither play ‘to nil’. On their soil this campaign, Girona netted to Real, the leaders Barcelona, and the 2 most defensive division’s contenders: Valencia (2nd league’s best tally by the number of missed goals – 23) and Atletico Madrid (the league’s toppers defensewise – they allowed only 19 goals of which 1 was made by Girona). Therefore, the hosts will probably manage to score to Espanyol who suffered 44 goals. This season, Girona won Espanyol in Barcelona, but the sides exchanged goals, 3:1. They will most likely do so tomorrow either.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
