Girona vs Elche Predictions

• Girona have to win to avoid relegation while a draw is good enough to keep Elche up
• Girona have won three of their last seven home games
• Elche have lost eight of their last nine away La Liga matches with both teams scoring in eight of the nine.

Last-day drama at Montilivi

Girona can earn a last-day salvation with a home win against Elche on Saturday as the La Liga campaign heads towards an exciting conclusion at the bottom. The Catalan club know they have to win to climb out of the relegation zone, almost certainly at los Franjiverdes’ expense.

If they lose or draw, they will be relegated to the Segunda Division, just two years after their historic third-place finish and qualification for the Champions League.

Girona come into this in unimpressive form with only three draws and no victory in their last seven, but they have won three of their last seven at the Montilivi, which should provide an intense atmosphere for them.

Girona must solve goalscoring issue

Michel’s side have suffered from a lack of goals all season and would be much higher in the table if they could just find a reliable goalscorer because their pressing game and passing ability is more akin to a top-six outfit.

Elche arrive in Girona with the worst away record in La Liga and eight defeats in their last nien road trips. But they do score goals and are capable of getting one in what is sure to be a tense Saturday skirmish.

Back both teams to score, which has been a staple of Elche’s recent games, with Girona just good enough to sneak a 2-1 win and survival.
