Girona
The Catalans can be congratulated on their first point in the current championship. After three consecutive defeats, they managed to draw away against Celta (1-1). They even had a chance to win, as the equalizing goal was conceded in the 92nd minute from the penalty spot. Only five clubs in La Liga have yet to win this season. It's also worth noting that Girona has conceded the most goals in the championship – 11.

- They have suffered 4 consecutive home defeats in the championship.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in their previous 8 home matches in La Liga.

Levante
Julián Calero's side also started with three defeats in La Liga. They only earned their first points in the last round. Playing at home, the team almost defeated Betis (2-2). Notably, the Valencians led 2-0 during the match but failed to maintain their advantage. It's also worth noting that the club has conceded at least two goals in each of their four matches.
- Both teams scored in 10 of Levante's last 12 matches in La Liga.

Prediction for Girona vs. Levante
Both teams will be eager to secure their first victory in the current championship in this encounter. There was a chance to win in the last round, but both clubs conceded late goals in their matches. Given that they will face a potential competitor for survival in La Liga, both teams will strive to perform well in attack and outscore their opponent.
At least three goals have been scored in 11 of Girona's last 16 home matches in La Liga. Similarly, Levante's away matches in La Liga have been high-scoring, with such a number of goals scored in 12 of their last 16 matches. Notably, Levante has conceded two or more goals 12 times in their last 16 away games in the championship. Therefore, I favor the prediction of Total over 2.5 goals.
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
