Villarreal vs Girona Prediction

Villarreal Form

In has been a bit of everything for Villarreal in their previous three matches, where they first beat Almeria by 2-1. This was followed by a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Panathinaikos, before an encounter with Rayo Vallecano produced a 1-1 draw. Villarreal won three of their previous six matches at Estadio de la Ceramica in the La Liga. They drew one and suffered two defeats, scoring 15 goals to ten against.

Girona Form

Girona are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Las Palmas got left behind in a 1-0 win, before Granada got hammered in a 2-4 victory. Mallorca was the most recent victim in a 5-3 win for Girona. Girona claimed two wins against three draws and one defeat in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches reads nine goals conceded and 11 scored.

Are Villarreal good enough currently to justify the prices with the bookies, when they face Girona at Estadio de la Ceramica? It could be tight, but considering form and match history, we believe the home side represents the best betting option.

Villarreal only drew once so far this season after six games played, in stead recording two wins and three defeats in the La Liga. Girona are looking at five wins, one draw and zero defeats in the La Liga.
