Girona

The Catalans have faced opponents from the lower part of the standings in their last two league matches and secured two victories. They first defeated Leganes at home (4-3) and then won away against Getafe (1-0). This marks only their second consecutive win in the current La Liga season. The club has climbed to 10th place and is now just two points away from the European competition zone.

• A maximum of three goals has been scored in 7 of Girona's last 8 La Liga games.
• The team has failed to win the first half in five consecutive home league matches (3 draws and 2 losses).
• The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 5 of the Catalans' last 6 La Liga encounters.

Espanyol

The club missed the last round due to flooding in Catalonia. As a result, Espanyol has dropped to 17th place, mainly due to a series of three consecutive defeats. Manolo Gonzalez's side lost at home to Sevilla (0-2) and away to Athletic (1-4) and Barcelona (1-3). Notably, this is their second such losing streak in this La Liga campaign. Additionally, only Valladolid (25 goals) has conceded more goals than Espanyol (22 goals) in the current season.

• The Catalans have lost 6 of their last 7 league matches.
• Both teams have scored in 7 of Espanyol's last 9 La Liga games.
• At least three goals have been scored in 7 of the last 9 La Liga matches.

Girona vs. Espanyol: Match Prediction

Michel Sanchez's team has slightly improved their performance by winning their last two league matches. Their opponents were not even mid-table teams, which Espanyol can be considered. I believe that in the Catalan derby, the hosts will prevail, especially since Girona has been stronger at home this season. Notably, out of the 16 goals the team has scored in the current La Liga season, 11 have come in matches at Montilivi.

Moreover, in 13 of their last 18 home La Liga matches, Girona has scored at least two goals. Manolo Gonzalez's side performs the worst on the road, having earned just one point from six away matches this La Liga season. Additionally, the club concedes an average of 2.1 goals per away game. In 10 of Espanyol's last 14 away league matches, they have conceded at least two goals.

My prediction – Girona individual total over 1.5 goals
