Girona vs Real Betis Predictions

• Girona have won 11 of their 14 home league games this season
• Real Betis are on a run of three successive defeats
• The visitors have also won just twice in their last eight on the road

Girona primed to bounce back

Girona will be hoping that the international break came at the perfect time, as they look to kick-start their attempts to qualify for the UEFA Champions League for the first time.

Their title charge may have fizzled out, but Míchel’s side still comfortably occupy a place in the top three, largely thanks to their excellent home form.

The White and Reds have won 11 of their 14 league outings at Estadi Montilivi, where they are unbeaten across all competitions in 11 outings since defeat to Real Madrid in October, picking up nine victories and two draws.

Betis need go get going again

The form book would suggest that is not good news for opponents Real Betis, who are on a three-game losing streak and have slipped outside of the European places in the process.

Manuel Pellegrini’s side have also been defeated in back-to-back away games, at Atletico Madrid and Rayo Valecano, so they too will be hoping the international break has given them a chance to regroup.

However, a run of two victories in eight on the road, losing four times during that period, suggests they might find this game tough, as does a 1-1 draw against Girona in the reverse fixture before Christmas.

I predict that Girona will win this game, selecting 2-0 as a correct score prediction.
