Bitesize Prediction: Girona vs Almeria – 22/10/23

Competition: La Liga

Market: Girona win

Odds: 1/2 @ BetUS

Looking to extend on their stellar La Liga purple patch this weekend, Girona will welcome Almeria to the Estadi Montilivi on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to winning ways prior to October’s international break, Girona have only continued to gain a string of plaudits since opening up the 2023/24 campaign. Last seen heading into the fortnight interval with a rugged 1-0 victory away at Cadiz, Michel’s men have their sights firmly set on claiming a famous European spot this season. Marking their return to La Liga action this weekend currently sat second in the table, the Blanquivermells find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Remarkably mustering 22 points from their first nine top-flight appearances and riding what has been a stunning wave of momentum, Girona will also be excited by their most recent meeting against Sunday’s guests. Storming their way to a stellar 6-2 victory when they welcomed Almeria to the Estadi Montilivi back on February 17th, Michel’s high-flying squad should be smelling another golden chance here. Winning seven of their previous eight La Liga showdowns, the Cataonia-based outfit are rightfully tipped as a standout contender this weekend.

As for the visitors, while Girona might be enjoying a remarkable La Liga romp, Almeria find themselves in the midst of what has quickly become a worrying rut. Although La Union might have just about clung to their top-flight status last season, Gaizka Garitano’s men are tipped as a leading relegation contender this time around. Heading into the October international break with a nightmare display away at Athletic Bilbao as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming, the Reds have failed to win any of their opening nine La Liga appearances. Likewise, putting just three points on the board from a possible 27, Garnitano’s men have also gained a real reputation for their extended struggles at the back. Likewise, losing each of their previous three straight showdowns away from the Power Horse Stadium by an aggregate score of 10-2, Almeria will face another stern examination this weekend. Two sides battling it out at opposite ends of the table, we are backing a home victory here.
