The Matchday 32 clash in La Liga between Girona and Betis will take place on April 21 at the Montilivi Stadium. Girona vs. Betis: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Girona
The Catalans are in a steep decline. The team has failed to win in La Liga for nine consecutive matches, with three draws and six losses. Coming into this round, the club is on a three-game losing streak in La Liga, having lost at home to Alaves (0-1), and away to Barcelona (1-4) and Osasuna (1-2). After this series, Michel Sanchez's side has slipped to 16th place, with their gap from the relegation zone reduced to five points.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Girona's last 6 La Liga matches.
- The Catalans have scored just one goal in the first half of their last nine La Liga matches.

Paulo Gazzaniga – Daley Blind, Ladislav Krejci, Arnau Martinez, David Lopez – Yangel Herrera, Oriol Romeu, Arthur Melo – Viktor Tsygankov, Abel Ruiz, Arnaut Danjuma.
Betis
The record six-match winning streak of the Sevillians, which lasted from mid-February to the end of March, is now over. Following this successful run in the league, the team drew away at Barcelona (1-1) and lost at home to Villarreal (1-2). Despite recent setbacks, the club remains in sixth place in the standings, although now they are nine points behind the top four.
- Both teams scored in 6 of Betis's last 7 La Liga matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 8 of the last 10 matches involving the Sevillians in the league.

Girona vs. Betis: Match Prediction
The recent results of both teams in La Liga speak for themselves: the Catalans are getting closer to the relegation zone, while the Sevillians have returned to the fight for the European competition spots. Girona could repeat their 2018/19 season, when they had almost identical results after 31 rounds and ended up relegated to the Segunda. Michel Sanchez's side seems already in holiday mode, eager to forget this championship and the club's failed transfer policy.
Betis, in their last eight La Liga matches, have only lost to Villarreal, who are higher in the standings. The team has a favorable schedule in the remaining rounds, which they should capitalize on to finish the championship in at least fifth place. The Sevillians are in excellent form: in their last three away matches in La Liga, they have secured two wins and a draw against Barcelona. Therefore, I confidently predict a Betis victory.
