Girona vs Villarreal prediction 06.04.2026 | La Liga

The White and Reds are going through another difficult stretch, which is starting to feel familiar. One win in the last five games does not inspire much confidence, and the 1-0 loss to Osasuna before the break summed things up. Competitive, but lacking something in key moments.

At home, though, there is at least a small positive. Their only recent win came at Montilivi, which might offer some belief. Still, winning back-to-back home games is something Míchel’s side have not managed since late 2024. That says quite a lot about consistency.

Vladyslav Vanat remains the main attacking outlet with nine goals, and much of Girona’s threat runs through him. Support from Joel Roca and Viktor Tsygankov helps, though it has not always been enough.

Injuries to Juan Carlos and Portu limit options, while Marc-André ter Stegen’s situation adds uncertainty at the back. It leaves Girona looking slightly stretched again.

The Yellow Submarine are moving in the opposite direction, at least in terms of trajectory. From eighth to fifth, now sitting third, it shows steady progress. Still, holding onto that position is not guaranteed. Atletico Madrid are just behind, which keeps the pressure on.

Marcelino García Toral’s side looked sharp before the break, beating Real Sociedad 3-1. That result means just one defeat in the last six matches, which is solid form.

However, that loss came away from home, and that is where doubts creep in. One win in the last seven away games is not ideal for a team chasing the top four.

Pau Cabanes and Juan Foyth are ruled with cruciate ligament and achilles tendon injuries, respectively.
