Girona vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

With their top-two chances in La Liga under threat, Girona face a daunting game against in-form Osasuna this week. This match will be played at Girona’s home stadium, Estadi Montilivi in Catalonia, on Saturday. Ahead of this round of matches, the hosts are second with 59 points, while the visitors are tenth with 36 points. Girona are seven points behind leaders Real Madrid and just a point above Barcelona. With their Catalan neighbours playing before them on this matchday, the hosts could start this matchday in third place. That is perhaps the right assessment of their recent form, which has been dire. Girona have lost three of their last four league matches, and this sequence has turned them from title challengers to a mere top-three contender. Despite such poor numbers, they still have a formidable home record, with five wins from their last six, where they drew the other match.

Osasuna start this round four points behind seventh-placed Real Sociedad. Their recent form has spurred the belief that they can make a late dash towards those spots. Osasuna are coming off a 1-0 win over Alaves, making it their third win in the last four league games. All three wins have come with a clean sheet, which is a testament to their growing defensive strengths. That said, they have shipped four goals to Girona in the reverse fixture that they lost 4-2. Any hopes of reversing that result will depend on finding their feet on the road, as Osasuna’s away record hasn’t been encouraging. They have lost five of their last nine away league games, winning only once.
