Girona 4-1 RCD Espanyol

Current streaks

Recent form

Girona

Girona have shown mixed form in their recent matches, with a tendency towards high-scoring encounters. Their last six games have yielded four wins and two losses, demonstrating resilience despite inconsistency. Notably, their 4-3 victory over Leganés and 4-0 thrashing of Extremadura 1924 in the Copa del Rey highlight their attacking prowess, with an impressive average of 1.83 goals scored per game. Defensively, Girona have been solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last six matches. However, their 4-0 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League raises concerns about their ability to compete at the highest level. The team's goal difference of +3 and the fact that 50% of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals suggest that Girona are involved in entertaining, high-scoring affairs more often than not.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have been struggling in recent weeks, finding themselves in 18th position in La Liga with just 10 points from 12 games. Their form has been patchy, with two wins and four losses in their last six matches across all competitions. The team have been particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding 11 goals in these six games, including a 4-1 defeat to Athletic Club. On a more positive note, Espanyol managed a convincing 4-0 victory in the Copa del Rey against San Tirso, showcasing their attacking potential. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five league matches. The statistics reveal that Espanyol's matches tend to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their struggles, the team have managed to score in five of their last six matches, indicating that they do possess some attacking threat.

Recent home/away form

Girona

Girona have shown mixed form at home recently, with three wins, two losses, and a draw in their last six matches. The Catalan side have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably their thrilling 4-3 victory over Leganés in their most recent home fixture. Despite their mid-table league position, Girona have demonstrated their ability to compete across multiple competitions, securing a clean sheet in their Champions League win against Slovan Bratislava. Their attacking prowess is evident, averaging 1.67 goals per game, whilst their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 1.33 goals per match. Interestingly, half of their recent home games have seen both teams score, with an equal split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, indicating an unpredictable nature to their performances at the Estadi Montilivi.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team suffering a run of four consecutive defeats in La Liga before their Copa del Rey victory against San Tirso. Their league performances have been especially concerning, conceding 12 goals in their last five away matches whilst scoring only three. Notably, Espanyol have struggled against top-tier opposition, losing heavily to Barcelona (3-1), Athletic Club (4-1), and Real Madrid (4-1). Their only positive result in La Liga came in a goalless draw against Atlético de Madrid. The Copa del Rey match against lower-league San Tirso provided a brief respite, with Espanyol securing a comfortable 4-0 win. However, this victory stands in stark contrast to their league form, where they currently sit in 18th position, highlighting their struggles away from home in more competitive fixtures.
