In the 23rd round of La Liga, Girona hosts Las Palmas at their home ground, in a match that both teams see as an opportunity to improve their current form and position on the table.
Girona Analysis
Girona currently sits in eighth place on the table with 28 points, having achieved eight wins, four draws, and nine losses so far this season. After an impressive third-place finish last season and participation in the Champions League, the team is facing challenges in maintaining a high level of play. A recent 2-1 loss to Arsenal marked the end of their European campaign for this season.
The team’s form is concerning, with four consecutive losses in all competitions, including league defeats to Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano. Their last La Liga victory was recorded on January 11 against Alaves with a minimal 1-0 scoreline. At home, Girona has secured five wins, one draw, and four losses out of ten matches, indicating unpredictable performances in front of their fans.
Coach Míchel can count on the return of key players such as goalkeeper Gazzaniga, David López, Krejci, Miguel Gutiérrez, and Bryan Gil, which could bring the necessary stability to the team.
Las Palmas Analysis
Las Palmas is in 15th place with 23 points, having achieved six wins, five draws, and ten losses. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Osasuna, thanks to a goal by Adnan Januzaj in the 98th minute, avoiding defeat.
Coach Diego Martínez’s team is known for its offensive approach, having scored 26 goals this season, the most among teams in the lower half of the table. However, defense is a weaker point for the team, with 34 goals conceded, the third-worst record in the league.
In away games, Las Palmas has earned 10 points from 10 matches, indicating average performances away from their stadium. In the first encounter this season, Las Palmas defeated Girona 1-0, while last season, Girona was more successful in both head-to-head duels.
Betting Tips
Both teams enter this match with the desire to break negative streaks and earn important points. Girona will rely on home advantage and the return of key players, while Las Palmas aims to exploit the opponent’s weaknesses and continue with effective attacking play.
Considering current form and statistics, we suggest the following betting tips:
