Athletic Club vs Girona

Current streaks

Recent form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. Despite sitting in a respectable 4th position in La Liga, their goal difference over this period is negative (-1), suggesting some defensive vulnerabilities. The Basque side have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Their Europa League campaign has produced contrasting results, with a convincing 3-1 home victory against Plzen offset by a heavy 4-1 away defeat to Besiktas. Notably, Athletic Club have struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in their last six matches, whilst conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. Their attacking output remains consistent, scoring in five out of six matches, but their defensive frailties have prevented them from stringing together a significant winning run.

Girona

Girona's recent form has been rather inconsistent, with the Catalan side experiencing a notable dip in performance. They have suffered a concerning run of four consecutive defeats across all competitions, including losses in both La Liga and the Champions League, before bouncing back with a narrow victory against Las Palmas. Despite their current 7th position in the league table, Girona's goal difference has turned negative, conceding more goals than they've scored in their last six matches. Their defensive record has been particularly worrying, with only one clean sheet in this period and an average of 1.33 goals conceded per game. However, their matches have tended to be entertaining affairs, with 67% of games seeing both teams score and the same percentage featuring over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown mixed form at home recently, with their last six matches yielding three wins, one draw, and two losses. The Basque side have been involved in some notable fixtures, including a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid and a 3-1 win against Plzen in the Europa League. However, they've also suffered setbacks, such as a 2-0 defeat to Barcelona in the Super Cup and a 3-2 loss to Osasuna in the Copa del Rey. Their goal-scoring record has been decent, averaging 1.5 goals per game, whilst conceding 1.17. Interestingly, half of their matches have seen both teams score, and there's been an even split between games going over and under 2.5 goals. Despite the inconsistency, Athletic Club have managed to maintain a strong league position, sitting fourth with 41 points from 22 games.

Girona

Girona's recent away form has been rather underwhelming, with the Catalan side struggling to find consistency on their travels. They have managed just one win in their last six away fixtures, suffering three defeats and securing two draws. Notably, Girona have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four away matches, conceding at least one goal in each. Their goal-scoring record has also been a concern, with the team averaging less than a goal per game in their last six away encounters. Despite their overall 7th position in the league, Girona's away performances have been lacklustre, with a negative goal difference of -2 in these fixtures. The team's inability to secure back-to-back positive results away from home highlights their inconsistency, although they have shown resilience in some matches, such as the 2-2 draw against Villarreal CF.
