Espanyol vs Girona Tips & Preview - Out of sorts visitors to struggle against in-form Catalans
- Espanyol unbeaten in 7 of last 8 matches; solid home performances.
- Girona winless in last 4 league matches; poor away record.
- Historical advantage for Girona in head-to-head encounters.
Espanyol vs Girona
Espanyol are aiming to maintain their recent good form and host Girona in a Monday night Spanish La Liga fixture.
Both teams are showing contrasting form at the moment with the hosts looking solid while the visitors are well below their best. Buoyed by a number of big scalps in the last few weeks, the home side are not expected to lose this one.
Espanyol Form
Espanyol's quest to beat the drop appears to be going well as they come into this clash unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions, beating Alaves 1-0 last time out. They are slowly easing away from the relegation zone and now sit three points clear of the bottom three.
The RCDE Stadium is where Espanyol often do their best work having gone unbeaten in their last seven La Liga home matches. Among the results in that run for Manolo Gonzalez's men is a 3-1 victory over Celta Vigo while they also earned a 1-0 win over La Liga champions Real Madrid.
An important factor in Espanyol's resurgence is that they seem to have found their attacking range and have scored first in six of their last seven La Liga home matches. However, defending still needs some work, having failed to keep a clean sheet in eight of their last 10 La Liga home matches.
Girona Form
Girona are a long way away from the showings that saw them clinch Champions League football last season. They have struggled to find their form this term and are currently down in the bottom half of the table, although only one point separates them from the top 10.
Michel Sanchez's men were held to a 2-2 home draw by Celta Vigo last time out in La Liga despite taking an early lead through Viktor Tsygankov. That result means they are now winless in their last four league matches, suffering three defeats in that run.
It is an even worse situation on the road for Girona, who have lost four of the last five La Liga away matches. They often show attacking quality while struggling at the back, a trend that has seen them score and concede in five of their last seven fixtures in the league.
Head to Head
Girona often do well in this fixture and are unbeaten in seven of the last eight matches against Espanyol. The visitors claimed a 4-1 home victory in the reverse fixture back in November while the last meeting at the RCDE Stadium ended in draws.
Verdict
Girona may have a good record in this fixture but come into Monday’s clash in poor form and low on confidence. They have lost four of the last five away matches and with Espanyol beating the likes of Celta Vigo and Real Madrid at home lately, the hosts could be set to earn a win or draw.
Espanyol and Girona have defensive issues and with both teams scoring in three of their last four meetings, a repeat is expected here. The hosts have also scored first in six of their last seven home matches and that trend is set to continue here.
