On Saturday night, Girona and Cadiz go head-to-head at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi as the home team looks to move closer to next season’s Champions League.
Girona are still in third place despite inconsistent recent formThe Catalan team’s recent inconsistent form in La Liga recently continued last time out, as they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Atletico Madrid.
The result means that Girona has now won three and lost three of their last six matches in La Liga.
Despite their mixed recent run of La Liga form, Girona are still in third place in the table, four points clear of fourth-place Atletico Madrid and five adrift of second-place Barcelona.
While Michel’s team has been inconsistent of late in La Liga, Girona has been strong on home soil in the Spanish top flight. They are unbeaten at home in 11 games, having recorded nine wins and two draws.
Girona have been highly prolific on home soil lately, scoring at least two goals in seven of their last eight home matches.
Cadiz struggling to escape the relegation zoneThe Yellow Submarine are currently in 18th place in the Spanish top flight, three points adrift of 17th-place Celta Vigo.
A 1-0 home defeat against Barcelona last time out means that Mauricio Pellegrino’s team has won just two of their last 27 games in the Spanish top-flight.
The visitor’s recent La Liga games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in ten of their last 11 outings.
Cadiz have been poor travellers of late in the Spanish top-flight, failing to win in their previous 20 away games in La Liga.
One of the main reasons for their poor recent away results is a lack of goals, as they have scored just once in their last six away matches in La Liga.
What am I backing?Girona have a strong recent home record, while Cadiz don’t travel well. The bet I am backing is a comfortable home victory.
