At the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Friday, 8 November 2025, relegation-battling Girona host mid-table Alavés in a La Liga matchup expected to be close, cautious, and low-scoring.
Pick: 1–1 Draw
Both sides are inconsistent in attack but organized enough defensively to share the spoils in a balanced encounter.
Girona: Gradual Signs of Improvement
Girona’s form has slightly stabilized in recent weeks - unbeaten in three consecutive home games and finally showing more structure under Michel. Still, only one home win in six reveals their struggle to convert performances into points. They create chances through Savinho and Dovbyk, but inefficiency in front of goal remains an issue. With morale fragile after slipping back to last place, Girona will focus on avoiding another defeat rather than chasing risks.
Alavés: Compact and Disciplined
Luis García Plaza’s side sit comfortably in 8th place, built on a foundation of compactness and defensive reliability. They’ve won just one of five away matches, but notably, all those games ended under 2.5 goals. Alavés rarely collapse and often frustrate their opponents through tactical patience and solid midfield organization. Their last visit to Girona ended 1–0 in their favor, part of a long-running trend of low-scoring away games - nine straight under 2.5 goals.
