Estadi Municipal de Montilivi plays host to a round 3 match of the new LaLiga campaign between last season’s third-best team Girona and Osasuna on Thursday.

A look at the LaLiga standings shows that three points and 11 places currently separate the two teams.

They are not exactly up to a dream opening on the new season as Girona have had to settle for a single point so far in the LaLiga.

We are bound to see an exciting game this coming Thursday as both Girona and Osasuna are looking to add some much-needed points to their respective accounts.

Girona scored 2.4 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 24 times. They conceded 14 goals, an average of 1.4 and pulled off two clean sheets.

Osasuna are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 11 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.1 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 14 goals, and while Osasuna claimed one clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.4 goals per match.

Girona had a good reading on Osasuna in their last two meetings, which they won by 4-2 and 2-0, respectively.

Girona vs Osasuna Prediction

Girona Form

In their last three matches, Girona beat Granada 7-0, drew 1-1 with Real Betis, before losing 3-0 against Atletico Madrid. Girona won five of their last six LaLiga matches at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, scoring 20 and conceding six along the way. They lost once but didn't draw a single match.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Girona a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

Osasuna Form

Osasuna have two draws and a win to show from their previous three matches. They started with a 1-1 draw with Villarreal. This was followed by another draw with Leganes, this time 1-1, before they outclassed Mallorca by 1-0. Osasuna won twice, while also recording one draw, and three defeats in their last six away matches in the LaLiga. The scoreline from these matches says ten goals conceded and ten scored.

A season somewhat above expectations could perhaps make Girona a contender in a title race, though they do look capable of a podium finish if catching the right momentum.

We trust neither defence to be able to keep their opponent at bay, when Girona welcome Osasuna this coming Thursday. Goals should be flowing at both ends of the pitch.
