Girona vs Betis prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2024-03-30 14:15.
[p]After losing just once over the first 23 matchdays and establishing themselves as strong La Liga title contenders, Girona have fallen away from the summit after four defeats in six since then (W2). They now find themselves jostling with Barcelona for second spot, with their Catalonian neighbours holding a two-point advantage over them going into the international break.[/p]
[p]Girona’s loss of form coincided with a drop in attacking output as they failed to score in three of their last six league games – as many blanks as in their previous 31 combined! Facing European qualification hopefuls Real Betis presents a tough challenge as the White and Reds are yet to register a La Liga H2H win (D2, L5), but home comforts give MĂchel’s men an opportunity to break that winless trend, as they have dropped points in just two of their last ten league matches at Estadi Montilivi (W8, D2).[/p]
[p]Betis are experiencing their own slump, having lost their last three games. As a result, Sunday’s visitors have slipped out of the top six and could fall further behind with another defeat – which would be the first time they would have lost four consecutive top-flight encounters since six successive defeats between March and May 2014. The Andalusians still have one of the best defences in the division though (GA33), despite conceding more than a fifth of those goals in their last three matches.[/p]
[p]Travelling hasn’t been Betis’ forte this season, with only two wins collected in their last 13 league trips (D6, L5). That could be set to change however if Los Verdiblancos maintain their perfect top-flight away record at Girona – the only club against whom they have won on their first three visits.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Artem Dovbyk enjoyed success with Ukraine this month, reaching the UEFA Euro 2024 finals. A goal here could extend the celebrations, as eight of his last nine Girona scoring appearances ended in victory. The only exception was the reverse fixture, and Betis’ Willian José could look to exert some early pressure, as six of his last seven league goals have been game openers, with four arriving before the 20th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Just two of Girona’s last ten La Liga matches saw both teams score.[/p]
