Cordoba vs Girona Betting Tips & Predictions

Cordoba were relegated from La Liga last season after finishing rock bottom of the table, but they are hoping that they can bounce back into the top flight quickly after a decent season for them.

They ended the regular season in 5th position in the Spanish Segunda, ten points adrift of winners Alaves and just one point inside the promotion playoff zone. One point was enough though, and they now have a chance of moving back into the top tier of Spanish football.

This playoff position was secured thanks to an excellent end to the season as they won three and drew one of their final four games, a run which more than made up for a dreadful mid-season run where they won just two of 12 in the league.

Girona have never been in the top tier of Spanish football, but they came awfully close last season after missing out on automatic promotion on goal difference and losing the playoff semi final after a 4-4 aggregate draw with Real Zaragoza.

They couldn’t quite reproduce the league form this season, ending the campaign two positions lower and 16 points worse off than last term, but they have once again got themselves in the fray for promotion after their last eight seasons in the Spanish Segunda Division.

Girona are in decent form as well with three wins and two draws in their five match unbeaten streak. This defeat was their only loss in their last 13 games as well, but ominously it did come against Cordoba.

This was Cordoba’s 4th successive triumph over their opponents Girona, and they will be hoping that the home advantage in this one gives them their 5th. They have won two of their last three home matches as well and have a decent record there despite their awful mid-season dip in form. Girona have only won three of their last eight on the road as well, so odds of 4/5 for a Cordoba Draw No Bet look good to me. I’m also backing a 1-0 correct score prediction at 11/2.
