Girona vs Espanyol Betting Tips: GIRONA TO WIN

Though it’s clear they’re not reaching the same heights as during their remarkable third-place finish last year, Girona remain well-positioned to come out on top in this derby against their neighbors, who are going through a rough patch and seem stuck in a slump.

Just before the November break for international duties, Michel's team managed to climb out of the bottom half of the table and occupy a mid-table thanks to back-to-back triumphs over lower-ranked sides Leganes (4-3) and Getafe (1-0) in their last match.

Before traveling to Sturm Graz for matchday five of the Champions League next Wednesday, the Blanquivermells will aim to boost their morale with a new La Liga victory, and their strong recent history against Espanyol, having won three of the last four encounters, will give them added belief.

Returning to the top tier of Spanish football has proven extremely difficult for the former giant-killer Espanyol, as their paltry tally of 10 points has left them in the relegation zone, though the silver lining is that they are level on points with Getafe, who sit in 17th place.

The team managed by Manolo Gonzalez is desperate to escape the most dangerous part of the table as soon as possible, but recent La Liga results offer little hope, with six of their previous seven league fixtures resulting in no points.

Throughout this term, the Periquitos have produced worrying results and earned the unfortunate title of the worst travelers, as they’ve not only failed to win any of their six La Liga away games so far, but have also managed to grab just one point from 18 on offer.

Based on all these factors, Girona, despite being hit by several players on the sidelined, should take control of the Saturday city derby and ultimately prove to be the better side in a routine manner against Espanyol, who seem unable to dig out any result.

Espanyol team news

Unlike their neighbors, Espanyol have fewer injury concerns, with midfielder Edu Exposito guaranteed to miss Saturday's Catalan derby, while Fernando Calero, Jose Gragera, and Pol Lozano remain doubtful.

On loan from AS Roma, centre-back Marash Kumbulla will need to undergo fitness tests after suffering an unknown injury during his team's 1-3 defeat to Barcelona in their last La Liga outing before the international break in November.
