Girona Espanyol betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 36 points won, after 8 wins, 12 draws and 13 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Getafe, by (1‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Eibar, by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 20 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 15 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Espanyol has a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 33 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 17 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 16 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Unlike its opponent Espanyol is aiming to get rid of the relegation, however, it needs to react in the competition, as it arrives for this confrontation without winning exactly for five rounds for the Spanish championship. As it will be playing away from home, it is important to watch its performance in these conditions, as it is finding it difficult to win. Recalling that so far has won only one win, still with seven draws and eight losses. Another fact is that it is leaving to be desired in both sectors, since it scores in average only 0.69 goals and suffers in average 1.62 goals per match. For this round coach Quique Sánchez should opt for a cautious strategy, however, also aiming to conquer a good result, that is, the most likely will organize its squad in 4-4-2, seeking to privilege its defensive sector and organized attacks. In this tactical formation we highlight the most advanced ones, being L. Baptista and G. Moreno. Remembering that the main scorer is the last one mentioned, this player who scored twelve goals, was an assist. For this round the coach does not have Ó. Duarte, Naldo and Diego Lopez, all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Pau López, Javi López, Aarón Martín, David López, Naldo, Carlos Sánchez, Víctor Sánchez, Darder, José Jurado, Gerard Moreno, Sergio García.
Coach: L. Ramis Monfort.
