Girona vs Villarreal CF

Current streaks

Recent form

Girona

Girona's recent form has been concerning, with the team enduring a difficult spell in La Liga. The Catalan side have managed just one win in their last six matches, suffering a worrying run of four consecutive defeats before a draw and a narrow victory. Their goal-scoring output has been particularly poor, averaging less than a goal per game, while defensively they've struggled, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match. The 4-1 defeat to Barcelona stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair. Despite their recent win against RCD Mallorca, Girona's position in 15th place with 38 points from 34 games suggests they are still in danger of relegation. Their ability to keep clean sheets has been limited, with only one in the last six matches, and their goal difference of -6 over this period further highlights their struggles at both ends of the pitch.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF have shown a strong run of form in their recent fixtures, securing three wins, two draws, and only one loss in their last six matches. The Yellow Submarine are currently sitting in 5th position in La Liga with 58 points from 34 games, demonstrating their competitiveness in the league. Their most recent outing was particularly impressive, as they notched a high-scoring 4-2 victory against Osasuna, contributing to their average of 1.5 goals scored per game. Defensively, Villarreal have been relatively solid, conceding 1.33 goals per game and keeping two clean sheets in this period. The team's matches have been entertaining affairs, with 67% of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals. Notably, Villarreal are currently on a three-match unbeaten run in the league, showing signs of consistency as they push for European qualification.

Recent home/away form

Girona

Girona's recent home form has been somewhat underwhelming, with the Catalan side struggling to find consistency at their Montilivi stadium. The team have managed just one victory in their last six home matches, a narrow 1-0 win against RCD Mallorca, which broke a concerning run of three consecutive home games without a win. Defensively, Girona have been vulnerable, conceding in five of their last six home fixtures and keeping only one clean sheet during this period. Their goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging just one goal per game, whilst they've conceded an average of 1.5 goals per match. Interestingly, Girona's home games have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Despite their recent struggles, the team have shown a knack for entertaining encounters, with both teams scoring in two-thirds of their recent home matches.

Villarreal CF

Villarreal CF have shown mixed form in their recent away fixtures, with a notable run of three consecutive wins against Las Palmas, Rayo Vallecano, and Getafe. However, their most recent away match resulted in a heavy 3-0 defeat to RC Celta, breaking their winning streak. The Yellow Submarine have been relatively consistent in their goal-scoring, netting in five out of their last six away games, but they've struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in this period. Their away form has been characterised by tight matches, with five of the six games decided by a single-goal margin. Interestingly, despite their mid-table position, Villarreal have shown an ability to grind out results on the road, winning four of their last six away fixtures, which has likely contributed significantly to their current 5th place standing in La Liga.
