Girona take on the visitors Villarreal in the round 30 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 6th at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Girona have managed to climb out of a prolonged slump. The “Blanquivermells” were one of the biggest surprises two seasons ago — a team that had barely featured in La Liga before managed to finish third, even ahead of Atlético Madrid. However, their debut in the UEFA Champions League turned out to be a failure, they exited the cup early, and in La Liga they only narrowly stayed above CD Leganés, who were relegated. The new season also started with defeats, but gradually they improved, helped by key additions made late in the transfer window. Since winter, they have collected a number of important wins, even beating FC Barcelona. This allowed them not only to escape the relegation zone but also to move into mid-table. In the last round, however, they failed to respond to a goal from CA Osasuna and lost. Their recent form shows clear improvement compared to the start of the season. At the same time, they still struggle to maintain consistency over several matches in a row.

Villarreal brought back Marcelino García Toral during a deep crisis two seasons ago, and he immediately showed his quality. Although they still finished the 2023/2024 season outside the European spots, there was too much ground to recover. In the following campaign, however, they finished in the top five alongside Athletic Bilbao, which was enough to return to the Champions League. Their European campaign was disastrous, with seven defeats and just one draw, salvaged late at home against Juventus. They also exited the cup early, but in La Liga they managed to stay neck and neck with Atlético Madrid in the battle for third place, only falling behind due to slip-ups in March. However, after Atletico lost their derby to Real Madrid, Villarreal responded with a 3-1 win over Real Sociedad and moved back into third place. Their current form looks strong, especially in domestic competition where they are delivering consistent results. Overall, Villarreal appear more stable and confident compared to their opponent.
The “Yellow Submarine” have won 8 of the last 10 meetings, with just one defeat. Villarreal are more motivated, and their current form is impressive. The pick is a win for the visitors against the Catalan side.
Prediction for the match: Villarreal to win.
