Girona take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 36 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Tuesday, April 14th at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Girona have already secured a place in the Champions League zone but has no intention of slowing down. If the team loses, it's only away matches lately. Ahead of the match against Villarreal, the white and red team is on a four-match unbeaten streak in La Liga: victories over Cadiz (4-1), Las Palmas (2-0), and Barcelona (4-2), plus an away draw with Alaves (2-2). By winning the Catalan derby, Girona surpassed Xavi's team in the table and is now the main contender for the silver medals in the championship.

It will be very difficult for Villarreal to secure a victory against such an opponent, especially away, where the Catalans are practically invulnerable. As for the players of the Yellow Submarine, they are fighting for a spot in the European competitions zone. But objectively, the chances for Marcelino's team are slim. Very slim. And yes, in the last four rounds, Villarreal have three victories and one draw. But two out of three victories were at home, and away from home, the team defeated the weak Almeria (the worst team in La Liga). In April, Villarreal only managed to draw in Bilbao (1-1), and in May, they lost to Celta Vigo (2-3).
Girona suffered their only home defeat in the current season back in September, and it was against none other than Real Madrid. Villarreal have improved towards the end of the season and looks good. But I don't think the Yellow Submarine will be able to overcome the Catalans away. By the way, in the first round of the current season, Girona defeated Villarreal (2-1) on their own turf. As for the goals, I think there will be many. At least three. In the 35 rounds of La Liga, the hosts of the upcoming match have exceeded Over 2.5 goals 22 times, while the visitors have done it 25 times. My prediction is 1X + Over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Girona no to lose and Over 2.5 scored goals.
