Girona vs Sevilla Prediction
Girona vs Sevilla Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 3 of LaLiga, set for Saturday, August 31 at Estadi Montilivi. Both sides are still searching for their first points of the season, adding extra drama to this relegation-tinged early showdown. In this article, you’ll discover LaLiga Predictions and betting insights from XpertStats tipsters.
- Girona sit bottom of the table after two heavy defeats, conceding eight goals already.
- Sevilla have also lost both of their opening games, with defensive gaps on display.
- Historically, Girona have the upper hand in recent head-to-head clashes.
- Both sides come into this fixture desperate for their first points of the campaign.
For Girona, the cracks are already showing. A 3-1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano on opening weekend was tough enough, but a 5-0 humiliation at Villarreal raised alarm bells. That’s eight goals conceded in just two matches, the worst defensive start in the league. Can Michel rally his men, or is the slide too steep already? With veteran Cristhian Stuani expected to lead the line and Paulo Gazzaniga back from suspension, the Catalans need leadership on the pitch more than ever.
History, at least, is on Girona’s side. They’ve won six of the last eleven meetings with Sevilla and four of the last five head-to-heads. Montilivi has been a difficult hunting ground for the visitors, and Girona’s fans will expect their team to channel that fighting spirit again. Still, missing key midfielders like Donny van de Beek and Yangel Herrera is a blow, and this squad already looks thin in depth. Another defeat here, heading into the September international break, could feel catastrophic.
Sevilla, meanwhile, are in no better shape. Under new boss Matías Almeyda, they’ve fallen 3-2 to Athletic Club and 2-1 at home to Getafe. That’s two games, zero points, and familiar worries. Last season’s 17th-place finish was their worst since relegation in 2000, and while it’s still early days, alarm bells are already faintly ringing. Can Almeyda steady the ship, or will Sevilla be dragged into another long relegation scrap? That’s the million-dollar question.
The truth is Sevilla are missing half a squad right now. Joan Jordán, Januzaj, Nianzou, Adams and Idumbo are all ruled out, while Lukebakio and Sow are serious doubts. Isaac Romero should start up front, with Agoumé anchoring midfield. But with so many absences, Almeyda has limited options. Los Nervionenses did edge Girona 2-1 in this fixture last season, yet they’ve lost six of their last seven against the Catalans. So, while anything can happen, the form book suggests a chaotic and open encounter. For fans and punters alike, this one feels like a roll of the dice the kind of clash that makes LaLiga Predictions so unpredictable and entertaining.
Both teams have had a shaky start, but that usually spells goals. Girona’s defense has been leaky, conceding eight times in just two matches: no side in LaLiga has let in more. Sevilla aren’t exactly watertight either, having shipped five goals across their opening two fixtures. With both managers under pressure to deliver, it’s unlikely either side will sit back. Girona have veteran Stuani up front, who still knows how to find space in the box, and Sevilla’s Isaac Romero has looked sharp in flashes. The injury list is long for both, but that could actually increase the chance of mistakes at the back. Historically, this fixture has produced goals: Girona have won four of the last five meetings, scoring twelve times in that stretch. With both sides desperate for points, expect attacking football, defensive lapses, and ultimately both teams finding the net.
