Girona vs. Sevilla: Match Prediction
This is a meeting of two struggling teams this season, both in poor form. Both clubs have been losing frequently and conceding a lot of goals, and they seem likely to be battling for survival in the current championship. In such a match, both teams will aim not only to earn their first points but also to secure a victory. Therefore, expect an entertaining and high-scoring affair.
Both teams have been conceding too many goals, both at home and away. Girona has managed just one clean sheet in their last 11 home matches in La Liga. Meanwhile, Sevilla has conceded in their last six away league games. Given the defensive performances of both clubs at the start of the season, it's likely they will concede again in this encounter. Notably, both teams have scored in their last three meetings at Montilivi in La Liga.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
