Girona vs Espanyol predictions: Goals at both ends
Key stats
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in five of Espanyol's last seven matches.
- Four of the last five clashes between these sides produced goals at both ends.
- Girona are currently on a seven-match winless streak across all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Girona 1-2 Espanyol
This has not been a particularly pleasant campaign for Girona, as they are still hunting for their first win in La Liga (D2, L4). Interestingly, Girona have lost three of three home games so far, scoring only once and conceding nine times.
Keeping in mind that Espanyol have a 3-2-1 win-draw-loss record in six games, we are leaning towards the visitors for the win.

- HOME: 7/5 (2.40) – 41.7%
- DRAW: 12/5 (3.40) – 29.4%
- AWAY: 19/10 (2.90) – 34.5%

It is also fair to point out that five of Espanyol's last seven games went above the 2.5-goal line. Keeping in mind that at least three goals were scored in three of the last four H2Hs at this stadium, over 2.5 total goals has an appealing look at 9/10 (1.90). That one has a 52.6% chance of landing.
Most recent H2Hs: Girona have bragging rights
Despite their recent shortcomings, Girona have a solid track record against Espanyol, with no defeats in seven consecutive clashes between these sides (W5, D2). Also, Espanyol have lost their last three trips to this stadium.

Pere Milla should be available for selection after serving a two-game suspension for receiving a straight red in Espanyol's 3-2 victory over Mallorca almost two weeks ago. The former Elche midfielder has scored three goals in four La Liga assignments so far and will look to add to his tally on Friday night.
