Girona head to the Ceramica in one of the most eye-catching fixtures this weekend in Spain. Our Villarreal vs Girona prediction and La Liga betting tips consider whether the Catalans can leave with a result.
Villarreal vs Girona prediction: Entertaining draw at the Ceramica
Key stats
- Our Villarreal vs Girona betting tips take into account that 83% of matches at the Ceramica this season have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Girona have won three in a row in La Liga, scoring nine times in the process.
- 86% of Villarreal’s competitive fixtures this season have seen both teams score.
Correct score prediction: Villarreal 2-2 Girona
This has the potential to be an entertaining affair. Villarreal matches have served up lots of goals this term and there should be plenty of space in this game with Michel’s Girona usually quite positive.
With some key players returning from injury, they have plenty of options again here, so Michel may freshen things up from midweek. They look capable of causing problems for a shaky Villarreal defence and potentially leaving with a point.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Villarreal the clear favourites
- HOME: 5/6 (1.83) – 54.5%
- DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
- AWAY: 3/1 (4.00) – 25.0%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The hosts are the favourites according to the Villarreal vs Girona odds with an implied probability of 54.5% that they win this match.
They head into the game after a 2-2 comeback draw against Osasuna last weekend, with Gerard Moreno’s Stoppage Time penalty rescuing a point.
Girona meanwhile were in Champions League action in Austria on Wednesday, but a 1-0 defeat against Sturm Graz leaves them on the brink of an early exit from that competition.
