Girona vs Celta Vigo Predictions

On current form, there is only one winner here. Girona are tied-top of La Liga and Celta are languishing in 18th. I’m backing a heavy defeat for Rafa Benitez’s team.

Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup

Girona have won 8 of their last 9 matches.
Girona have won 3 of their last 5 home matches by 2+ goal margin.
Celta Vigo have lost 4 of their last 6 matches.
Celta Vigo have conceded 2+ goals in 4 of their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

Celta Vigo hold a 7-4 lead over Girona across 15 previous meetings with four draws.

The sides last played out a 1-1 draw when they met in May.

Girona Form & Team News

After finishing 10th last term, Girona are flying high this season. They’ve won eight of their 10 La Liga matches and are only second in La Liga on goal difference.

After drawing on the opening day, they won six league matches in a row with 17 goals scored. A 3-0 home loss to Real Madrid sent that crashing back to earth.

They bounced back to win 1-0 at Cadiz with 20 shots and just 0.43 xG allowed. Their last match saw a 5-2 home win over Almeria having trailed 2-0.

Girona coach Michel is expected to name an unchanged XI for this match. Winger Toni Villa is ruled out with an injury.

Veteran goalkeeper Juan Carlos is injured. Centre back Bernardo and midfielder Borja Garcia need late fitness test.

Girona Predicted Lineup

Gazzaniga; Garcia, Lopez, Blind; Couto, Herrera, Garcia, Gutierrez; Martin, Dovbyk, Savio.

Celta Vigo Form & Team News

Celta Vigo sit 18th in La Liga under Rafa Benitz. They’ve lost six of their 10 matches and have just two points from their last six league fixtures.

After their sole victory in round four, Celta lost 1-0 at home to Mallorca and 3-2 at Barcelona having led 2-0. A 1-1 home draw with Alaves preceded a 2-1 loss at Las Palmas having led 1-0 after 83 minutes.

A 2-2 home draw with Getafe was a poor result as they faced ten men for an hour. Last weekend they were thumped 3-0 at home by Atletico Madrid.

Rafa Benitez is without goalkeeper Ivan Villar due to suspension. Vicente Guita will start between the sticks.

Defender Joseph Aidoo is out injured. Left back Mihailo Ristic and winger Carles Perez are very doubtful to feature.

Celta Vigo Predicted Lineup

Guita; Mingueza, Nunez, Starfelt, Sanchez; Sotelo, Beltran, de La Torre; Bamba, Asap, Larsen.

Verdict

Girona v Celta Vigo

I'm tipping a home win and Girona to also beat the -1 handicap.
