Girona vs Real Betis Prediction (21.04.2026)

The 1:1 draw away at Real Madrid seems to indicate that Girona's improvement in recent months is not a coincidence. The team now breathes much more easily and plays without pressure. This has allowed them to distance themselves six points from the relegation zone, after spending quite some time at the bottom in the first phase of the season. Girona has also won three of their last four home matches, against teams like Barcelona, Athletic Bilbao, and Villarreal.

Betis had put La Liga on the back burner, but that didn’t help on Thursday when they suffered a comeback from 2:0 to 2:4 at home against Braga and were eliminated from the Europa League. Now they must at least maintain their fifth place in the league, which is no longer certain as their lead has shrunk to two points ahead of sixth-placed Celta. They have not won in the last seven rounds. Despite several draws, they have managed only four wins from their 16 away games so far.

Betis needs to tighten up in La Liga after the disappointing exit from the Europa League. However, Girona is on the rise and I think they will challenge the recently shaky team of Manuel Pellegrini.
