Girona vs Espanyol Prediction & Match Preview

Girona vs Espanyol Match Preview

Girona enter this clash desperate for a turnaround. Six games into the season, they remain winless, having drawn just twice and suffered four defeats.

Their defensive record is especially concerning, with 16 goals conceded already, the joint-worst in La Liga at this stage.

Recent form shows back-to-back draws against Athletic Bilbao and Celta Vigo, but those were sandwiched between heavy losses to Levante (0-4), Villarreal (5-0), and Sevilla (0-2).

Home games in particular have been punishing, with two consecutive losses without scoring. Girona’s attack looks blunt, with only three goals scored all season, a rate that leaves them struggling to impose themselves.

Espanyol arrive in far brighter shape, sitting unbeaten in five of their six league outings. They have claimed three wins, including a tight 1-0 against Osasuna and a dramatic 3-2 over Mallorca.

Their resilience was evident in a 2-2 draw at Valencia, while their only defeat came away at Real Madrid.

Offensively, they have found more consistency, scoring 10 times compared to Girona’s three. Yet their defence has shown cracks, conceding nine goals across six matches, and both of their last two games ended with goals on both sides.

Head-to-head history offers an intriguing picture. Four of the last five meetings ended level or with low-scoring margins. Their most recent encounters in 2025 both finished as draws (0-0 and 1-1), suggesting little separation when these sides meet.

However, Girona did enjoy a notable 4-1 home win last season, though that stands out as an exception in what has mostly been tight, cautious affairs.

Girona vs Espanyol Prediction

Given Girona’s inability to keep opponents at bay and their ongoing struggles in front of goal, Espanyol look the more reliable pick. The visitors have shown attacking balance and more confidence, while Girona’s defence continues to leak heavily.

The betting value sits with Espanyol on the Draw No Bet market, offering insurance if it finishes level. Their recent form and head-to-head resilience support that choice.

Additionally, Both Teams to Score is an appealing angle, with Girona occasionally managing goals at home despite their struggles, and Espanyol regularly finding the net.

A tight contest is expected, but Espanyol’s superior firepower and steadier form point to them edging it, possibly by a narrow 2-1 scoreline.
