Girona Form
Girona have gathered good momentum, suffering only one defeat in their last five league matches. The home ground at Montilivi has become a real fortress: Barcelona were beaten here (2:1) and Villarreal were also defeated (1:0). The home side rely on aggressive pressing and quick wing play led by Viktor Tsygankov. In terms of quality of chances created at home, the team average 1.31 xG per match.
Important Numbers for Girona:
Girona have won four of their last six home matches.
Goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga makes an average of 3.7 saves per game (the second‑best figure in the league).
The Catalan club concede fewer than two goals in 12 of their last 14 matches.
Potential Girona Lineup
(4-3-3): Paulo Gazzaniga — Alex Moreno, Vitor Reis, Alejandro Frances, Arnau Martinez — Ivan Martin, Axel Witsel, Thomas Lemar — Azzedine Ounahi, Claudio Echeverri, Viktor Tsygankov.
Out: Abel Ruiz, Daley Blind, Donny van de Beek, Juan Carlos, Portu, Ricardo Artero, Vladyslav Vanat, Marc-Andre ter Stegen (injuries).
Real Betis Form
Real Betis are going through a turbulent spell. The main issue is the defence, which has started to fall apart: the four goals conceded against Braga last week are clear evidence of that. The absence of the suspended Antony is a huge loss in attack, as the Brazilian was a key creative link. In La Liga, Real Betis have not won since the beginning of March, and their away form leaves much to be desired: only four wins in 16 away league matches and 22 goals conceded out of 38 in total.
Important Numbers for Real Betis:
The winless streak in La Liga stands at seven matches in a row.
Real Betis have conceded in seven of their last eight away games.
Real Betis have won only once in their last five head‑to‑head meetings with Girona.
Potential Real Betis Lineup
(4-3-3): Alvaro Valles — Hector Bellerin, Diego Llorente, Nathan, Valentin Gomez — Sofyan Amrabat, Pablo Fornals, Sergi Altimira — Rodrigo Riquelme, Kucho Hernandez, Abde Ezzalzouli.
Out: Junior Firpo, Angel Ortiz (injuries), Antony (suspension).
