Girona vs Granada Prediction & Match Preview

Girona vs Granada Prediction

Girona will be looking to end their historical campaign on a high. They host already-relegated Granada side in the first game of the final La Liga Matchday on Friday evening at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.

• Girona have 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses in 18 home outings this season.
• Granada picked up only 3 points in 18 away fixtures in this term of La Liga.
• Artem Dovbyk is chasing the Golden Boot award after scoring his team’s second goal in a 3-1 win at Valencia on Sunday.

Girona bounced back from an unexpected home loss to Villarreal by beating Valencia 3-1 on the road last weekend. Artem Dovbyk moved one step closer to Alexander Sorloth atop the division’s goal-scoring charts by scoring his team’s second goal at Estadio de Mestalla. Girona will end the season in 3rd place regardless of the happenings on the final day.

Granada have been eliminated from the top-flight action after a home loss to Real Madrid earlier this month. They are second from bottom, sitting as many as 16 points below Mallorca in the safe zone. The latest of their failures happened five days ago. Jose Ramon Sandoval’s men fell 1-2 at home to Celta Vigo on the occasion.

• Girona celebrated a 4-2 victory over Granada in an eventful H2H encounter in the first half of the season at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes.
• The teams had earlier locked horns just twice. They exchanged victories in the 2010/11 Segunda Division campaign.
• The Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score pick lanced in two of the previous three head-to-head outings between these counterparts.

The gulf in quality between Girona and Granada is massive. We can’t expect anything other than a comprehensive victory for the hosts.

Girona will be motivated to end their fairytale season on a high in front of their fans. Granada represent an ideal rival for such a feat. Granada are by far the worst travellers in the league. The fact they’ve managed just 3 draws and 15 losses in 18 away outings in this term of La Liga is fascinating.

Sandoval’s men also own the second-worst defensive record in the division. They’ve allowed eleven goals in the last four league losses. On the other side, Girona have 14 wins, 2 draws, and 2 defeats in 18 home fixtures so far in the season. We will back the hosts to win by three or more goals difference at the 2.35 odds.

Artem Dovbyk is chasing the league’s Golden Boot award. The Ukrainian forward took his league tally to 21 goals by netting away at Mestalla on Sunday. He is now only two goals shy of Villarreal’s Alexander Sorloth who fired four goals past Real Madrid last weekend.

Dovbyk will certainly get his chances on Friday against the worst travellers in the league. We would not be surprised to see him netting even a hat-trick on the occasion. You can back Dovbyk to score first on Friday at the 2.87 odds.
