Girona vs Alaves Prediction 18.12.2023

• Competition: LaLiga
• Date: 18.12.2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona)

Girona is currently the biggest sensation in entire football Europe. We are almost halfway through the season, and the team from Catalonia still sovereignly holds the leading position in LaLiga.

If the previous games did not prove it, the victory in the last round over Barcelona 4:2 on the Nemon field removed all doubts. Girona is capable of fighting for the title this season. For a long time, no club in Spain outplayed Barcelona like Girona did. Two goals each in the first and second half were enough for the historic first victory over this rival. As many times this season, the entire team made a great contribution. If someone had to stand out, it would be the veteran Cristhian Stuani, who contributed one goal and an assist in 20 minutes on the field and is currently experiencing a second youth.

Alaves won promotion to LaLiga last season and for now they are perhaps playing better than expected. At the moment, they occupy the 12th position in the table with 16 points. In the last round, they spoiled the impression a little by losing at home to Las Palmas with a score of 1:0, but that should not discourage them from continuing their hard work. They have a pretty tough schedule in the next few weeks and he could show the true capacity and mentality of this team.

Girona vs Alaves pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS

Although their last season was quite good, there was little to indicate that Girona would make such a breakthrough and be the leader in the table for almost half of the season. What is specific about this team is that they play extremely attacking football, without calculations, and that they never give up their style. It is a real miracle that Girona have scored 38 goals so far, 4 more than the next most efficient team in the league, Real Madrid. Considering the current status, there is no doubt that in the rest of the season they will be the main target of all other teams in the league who will try to take their measure.

Alaves is the first potential mine. For now, this club has not had much success on away pitches in LaLiga, but against Barcelona and Atletivo have put up a lot of resistance. In this match, they simply have nothing to lose and it is to be expected that they will play without pressure. Girona has given us a lot of exciting games this season with a lot of goals and this could be another one of those high scoring clashes.
