Our prediction for the Villarreal vs Girona match
The "Yellow Submarine" had a disastrous start to last season. However, the return of Marcelino to the managerial position made an impact. While he didn’t manage to keep his team in European competitions, he at least lifted them to an eighth-place finish. Girona were the biggest surprise of that season in Spanish football. They couldn’t maintain their leadership, but they ended up in an incredibly high third place.
As a result, Michel Sánchez's team went to the Champions League. But they struggled there, winning only against the weak Slovan amidst a series of defeats, and they also set a record for own goals. They managed to avoid another own goal against Sturm Graz, but with a shocking miss in front of the opponent's goal, the match ended 0-1. Their La Liga start was tough, but in November they managed to win three matches in a row, the same number they had won previously up until that point. The "Submarinos" have been recovering positions this season, and now they’re aiming for a possible fourth place.
The home side scores almost two goals per game. However, they also concede nearly 1.6 goals on average per match. The visitors' stats are less impressive — 1.43 goals scored and 1.29 conceded.
