Match Preview

The away side won’t be about to roll over and concede the three points, ahead of our Villarreal CF vs Girona FC preview and soccer odds, with Pablo Machin’s side recovering well from a thrashing by Barcelona at Camp Nou.

Girona have only been comfortably beaten by Eibar and Barcelona on their league travels so far this season, with the newly promoted side setting up well to ensure that they are very tough to break down. Villarreal have been solid at home lately but have lacked goals at times.

Our Villarreal CF vs Girona FC predictions back the away side to make a real contest of this game, which makes going for a draw in our La Liga tips very tempting. Since the sale of Cedric Bakambu, the hosts haven’t been very clinical.

The Catalan visitors will be looking to get back to normality after a heavy defeat by Barcelona, as they are notoriously tough to beat since their return to Primera football. Thrashings are extremely rare for the away side and that theme should continue.

Villarreal CF vs Girona FC Prediction and Betting Advice

There have been more than two goals in a Girona away game just once in their last four trips away. Narrow scorelines against Atletico Madrid, Malaga, and Sevilla show just how multi-purpose this side have become whether at Montilivi or elsewhere. After getting back to winning ways midweek versus Celta Vigo, the visitors should be feeling confident once more.

William Hill offer the best value on there being less than three goals, which looks likely for a Villarreal side that have lost their edge at times since the departure of Cedric Bakambu. Enes Unal and Carlos Bacca are trying to forge a striking partnership up top, but it is taking a while to come together for Javi Calleja’s side. They could come up short against a very organised unit.

Villarreal have lost just one of their last five home league games, but their last outing was a little fortuitous given that Sergio Asenjo was called into action to save two penalties at La Ceramica. Girona have shown themselves to have stern resolve but also pose a threat on the counter-attack.

Our Villarreal CF vs Girona FC bets back this to be a very tight game. Although Girona haven’t been particularly strong on the road of late, picking up more points in Catalonia instead, they have shown that they can be competitive against some good sides. Sevilla beat them by a mere 1-0 scoreline, while at the Wanda Metropolitano, they held Atletico Madrid to a very impressive 1-1 draw.

Betfair offer the best odds on this game ending in a draw on the east coast of Spain, with Calleja’s men tough to beat on their own patch but also potentially lacking the cutting edge to penetrate the away side’s organised system. It will be tough, with plenty of the creative responsibility resting on Pablo Fornals’ shoulders.

Our Villarreal CF vs Girona FC betting tips suggest that this will be a very tight game, with Villarreal’s lack of killer instinct in the final third also counteracted by Girona’s organisation. The spoils being shared certainly isn’t out of the question this weekend.
