Girona take on the visitors Granada in the round 38 match of Spanish LaLiga2. The match will be played on Friday, April 24rd at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Due to a recent loss to Villarreal (0-1), Girona lost its chances for the silver medals in the championship. However, they still became the biggest surprise of La Liga this season, which was historic for the club: they secured the bronze medal and a spot in the group stage of the Champions League. The final match for the red and whites is merely a formality, a simple friendly. I won't speculate on how many goals Michel's team will score against their opponent, but I do believe they will concede at least one. In the last nine rounds of La Liga, Girona have kept a clean sheet only once. In the last four games, they conceded not only to Villarreal but also to Barcelona (4-2), Valencia (3-1), and Alavés (2-2).

The status of the game against Girona are familiar for the guests - the team has been playing out the season without any motivation for a while. Nevertheless, they have been scoring goals consistently towards the end of the championship. In the last seven rounds of La Liga, the Nazaries failed to score in only two matches. In the other five games, they managed to find the net, regardless of the results: wins over Alavés (2-0) and Osasuna (3-0), a draw with Athletic Bilbao (1-1), and losses to Celta (1-2) and Rayo Vallecano (1-2). Granada have been finding the back of the net more frequently at the end of the season, reminding us of their form at the beginning of the season.
It is clear that Girona is the favorite for this match, and no one disputes this fact. However, my pick for this game is a goal from the visitors. Recently, the Catalans rarely keep a clean sheet, and their attack is clearly prioritized over their defense. Granada, on the other hand, is bidding farewell to La Liga and will likely want to leave with a bang in their last match in the Spanish top flight for the foreseeable future. In the first round of this season, Girona was stronger than this opponent but also conceded twice (4-2). My prediction is Guests to Score: YES. This bet is sufficient for me. I also don't mind the Both Teams to Score bet, as the odds will be slightly higher.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
