Girona vs Almeria Predictions

• Girona have won seven of their first nine games, scoring 19 times
• Almeria sit bottom with the worst defensive record in the league
• The visitors have conceded 10 times across their last three away trips

Girona make flying start

Girona are enjoying a dream start to this La Liga campaign, which has put them in second place after nine matches. The hosts have been thrilling in the early weeks of the season, racking up 19 goals on their way to securing seven victories.

The hosts will hope to keep that momentum going after the international break, with bottom side Almeria the visitors on Sunday. Given the struggles of the away side so far, this could be an uncomfortable afternoon for them.

Hosts to punish league’s worst defence

Almeria have lost their last three away games, shipping 10 goals in that run. They head to a Girona side who have produced some big wins against poor teams, beating second-bottom Granada 4-2 on the road. They’ve scored at least three times in home wins over Getafe and Mallorca, so they should relish playing the worst defensive side in La Liga.

Almeria have conceded at least three goals in five games this term, including home meetings with the other sides in the bottom two. They’ve only played one away game against a side in the top 10, which saw them thumped 3-0 by Athletic Bilbao.

With Almeria losing 6-2 at this ground earlier this year, backing at least three goals for the hosts looks like good value.
