Game Prediction

Our prediction for the Girona vs Villarreal match
Both teams surprised last season, but in very different ways. The Catalans managed to lead the league for a significant period and ended the campaign sensationally, finishing in the top 3—behind only Real Madrid and Barcelona. Their current rival, a regular participant in European competitions, dropped from fifth to eighth place last season.
Back then, Marcelino and his men lost the battle for a Conference League spot to Real Betis. Now they're competing for fifth place—which this time around could grant them the opportunity to play in the Champions League next autumn. They also handled Osasuna in the previous round, winning 4-2. Míchel Sánchez’s squad were set back either by a massive summer sale of key players—although they brought in many newcomers, few impressed. Or perhaps it was their poor debut in the Champions League, where they lost seven out of eight matches—everything but their victory over Slovan. Once they were also eliminated from the cup by UD Logroñés, losing on penalties to an outfield player in goal, the team collapsed, suffering a string of defeats in La Liga. Only in the previous round did they finally win—1-0 against Mallorca.
Stuani and his teammates average just 1.21 goals per match, while conceding 1.53 in return. Their guests are legitimate Champions League contenders, with a much more favorable ratio of 1.76 scored and 1.38 conceded per match.
