Girona’s title is over, but the team still has ambitions of a place in La Liga’s top 4. This is something far more realistic, given the recent drop in form. But Real Betis are not a team to be taken lightly and are involved in the battle for 6th place. All of the needed things for a great match are present in this clash and I am looking forward to it with excitement.
Girona Team News
Girona’s drop-in for is evident as they have 3 losses in their last 5 games. But an important addition is that all of those wins have come away from home. Michel’s men have the comfort to play at the Estadi Montilivi against Betis and their form remains strong – 4 wins and a draw in their last 5 league games as hosts. Moreover, Girona has not conceded a goal in any of their last 3 home fixtures. Another interesting fact is that despite the drop in attacking output, at the Estadi Montilivi, Girona finds the net often. In 4 of their last 5 home games, the team has at least 2 goals per game.
Real Betis Team News
Real Betis travel to Girona amid some bad form. Recent games have not been what the team expects and in La Liga all of Betis’ last 3 games have ended in defeat. More worryingly for Los Verdiblancos, away games have not been their strong suit this season as they will enter the game with Girona with back-to-back away losses in La Liga. Moreover, 3 of the team’s last 5 away league games have ended in defeat. Despite that, Real Betis still maintains one of the more stable defences in the league with only 33 goals conceded, but are also the second lowest scoring team from the upper half of the league with 34 goals scored.
Head-to-Head-Games
Head-to-head games are dominated by Real Betis as they have won all of the last 5 games with Girona. The latter have yet to record a top-flight team over Betis and have managed to score only 2 goals against them in the entirety of this rivalry. Looking at the way things are shaped up this season, this could be Girona’s best chance yet to finally get one over Real Betis.

Girona – Real Betis Betting Prediction
Both teams are experiencing issues with their form and one of their main pain points seem to be away games. This is bad news for Real Betis, but for Girona home games have been their bread and butter this season. My point of view is that Girona will take this game. Firstly, they are hosts and their home form has been exceptional. Secondly, Real Betis has won only 2 times from their last 13 away La Liga games. Thirdly, they will be entering this game on the back of 3 consecutive league defeats. Lastly, while both teams are fighting for European football next season. Girona are on the precipice of history for them and I believe will be more motivated to continue their dream. That is why, my pick here is for them to win this game.
