The Spanish Segunda division fixture Girona vs Almeria will take place this Monday 4th October at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in Girona.
The home side comes into this game on the back of a goalless draw away to Real Oviedo last Saturday. Girona had a fair start in the season getting 4 points in the opening two fixtures before back to back defeats the last defeat coming from Malaga.
Girona then took the 3 points in the fixture match against Valladolid and the hosts have now won just two of these opening matches. The goalless draw against Oviedo left Girona at the 15th position in the standings with 8 points in the seven league fixtures.
High-flying Girona however, don’t tend to be involved in too many thrillers, with 15 of their previous 20 home matches in the LaLiga2 serving up under 2.5 goals. Christian Stuani is the captain of this team, he however started on the bench in the last match and they, Stuani and Bustos both scored 2 goals.
Almeria has been close to the rise for a few years. Present in the top flight 7 years ago for the last time, the Andalusian team finished twice in 4th place in the last two seasons, coming very close to the climb.
Almeria are making the most of Turk Al-Sheikh’s summer investment. The visitors have won five of their opening seven and come into this weekend’s round of fixtures in the top two spots in the standings. The visitors have been the more consistent side in recent weeks, with three wins from their last five matches.
Almeria come to this match from a 3-1 victory over Tenerife on home turf. Largie Ramazani and Umar Sadiq were on the score sheet for Almeria.
