Sevilla
Matias Almeyda's side, along with four other clubs, has yet to earn a point. Like the Catalans, Sevilla lost both opening matches, albeit by a narrow margin. The team was defeated away by Athletic (2-3) and then failed at home against Getafe (1-2). Sevilla has now suffered four consecutive defeats in the league, conceding at least two goals in each match.
- In their last 13 La Liga matches, Sevilla has only secured 1 win (2 draws and 10 losses).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 5 of Sevilla's last 7 La Liga games.
- The team is on a 6-match losing streak away from home in the league.

Match Prediction: Girona vs. Sevilla
This is a clash between two struggling teams with similarly poor current form. Both clubs are losing frequently, conceding many goals, and will likely be fighting to avoid relegation this season. In such a matchup, both sides will be eager not only to earn their first points but also to secure a victory. Therefore, we can expect an exciting and high-scoring match.
Both teams have been conceding too many goals, both at home and away. Girona has managed to keep a clean sheet only once in their last 11 home matches in La Liga. Meanwhile, Sevilla has conceded in their last 6 away league games. Given both teams' defensive records at the start of the season, they are likely to allow goals again in this encounter. Notably, both teams scored in the last three head-to-head meetings at Montilivi in La Liga.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
