Even if Alaves were to land a win out on the road in this game it wouldn’t get them out of the drop zone in La Liga. That is because they are a long way from safety but still, they need to start getting some momentum going. Girona are up in mid-table and they are on a five-match unbeaten streak of form as well. This is a good chance for them on home soil to extend that current positive form too. Girona are 3/5 odds on favourites to collect maximum points with Alaves at 24/5.

Deportivo AlavesGirona Form
Girona have strung together a five-match unbeaten streak of form and that has been a big turnaround for them having collected only two points in their previous six. In their current unbeaten form (W3 D2) they sprung a huge surprise in taking a 2-1 home win over Real Madrid and that has left them unbeaten in two at home. Overall this season they are W2 D2 L3 on home soil which isn’t bad for the first season in the top flight. They are averaging a goal per game on home soil and with the visit of lowly Alaves, under 2.5 goals is a decent option to consider for the game. Girona have scored at least one goal in each of their last five home games now.
Alaves Form
Alaves are reported to the foot of the table after going W2 D0 L11 for the season. That’s a pretty rough season they are having and they are on a two-match losing streak now. Their two league wins this season have been split between one at home and one away. They have only returned the three home goals this season on their travels and in their six away games, they have shipped nine goals at a rate of 1.5 goals per game. Three of their five away defeats this season have been by a 1-0 scoreline so there’s a decent trend to consider there. Alaves have been trailing at half time in five of their six games away from home. They have conceded the opening goal in 11 of their 13 league games this season.
Head to Head News
There is not a lot of head to head history between the clubs but from what little there is, Girona are 3-1 up with two drawn matches. The last time they were together was in the 2015/16 Spanish Segunda and they traded 1-0 home wins on that occasion. Girona are W2 D1 at home in three previous games against Alaves both wins coming by a 1-0 scoreline.
Top Betting Tips
The 1-0 correct score on Girona looks to be a decent way to go in this one. They should have the edge over the bottom side given current form but probably are going to struggle to pick up a big win. So settle on the narrow home victory for Girona.
