The Matchday 12 clash in La Liga between Girona and Alaves will take place on November 8 at the Montilivi Stadium. Girona vs. Alaves: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Girona
The Catalans are still struggling to move out of the relegation zone. Moreover, following their 1-2 defeat to Getafe in the previous round of La Liga, the team now sits at the bottom of the table. After the first 11 matches of the championship, Girona has managed just one victory, collecting a total of 7 points. Under the guidance of Michel Sanchez, they occupy the last place in La Liga for the total number of goals conceded (24), and their attacking stats are also unimpressive, having scored only 10 goals in total, with only Osasuna (9) and Oviedo (7) scoring fewer. Notably, Girona's scoring streak in the Spanish championship has lasted four matches, but they have conceded in each of these games.
- The Catalans have not won in 7 of their last 8 home matches in La Liga (2 draws, 5 losses).
- Girona has conceded in 12 of their last 13 matches in La Liga.
- At least 2 goals have been scored in 6 of Girona's last 7 home games in the championship.
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-5-1)
Paulo Gazzaniga – Arnau Martinez, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Alex Moreno – Axel Witsel, Ivan Martin, Azzedine Ounahi, Viktor Tsygankov, Joel Roca – Vladyslav Vanat.
Due to injuries, goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin, defenders Alejandro Frances and David Lopez, as well as midfielder Donny van de Beek, are unavailable for the match.
Alaves
Last weekend, the team defeated Espanyol 2-1, leaving Alaves with an equal number of wins and losses in La Liga (4 each). Although the Basques still lack consistency, they have climbed to 8th place in the standings. The gap to the European competition zone has been reduced to 3 points. Eduardo Coudet's side does not have the highest scoring rate, having scored only one more goal than Girona since the start of the season in La Liga. However, Alaves' strength lies in their solid defensive play, sharing the top spot in the championship for the fewest goals conceded (10).
- The team has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 20 La Liga matches.
- No more than 2 goals have been scored in 17 of Alaves' last 21 matches in La Liga.
- The Basques have not won in 10 of their last 13 away matches in the championship (5 draws, 5 losses).
Predicted lineup for Alaves (4-4-2)
Antonio Sivera – Victor Parada, Nahuel Tenaglia, Joni, Youssef Enriques – Antonio Blanco, Caleb, Denis Suarez, Carles Alena – Lucas Boye, Toni Martinez.
Main striker Lucas Boye is suspended. Defender Jon Pacheco will not be able to assist the team due to injury.

Prediction for Girona vs. Alaves
As one of the underdogs in La Liga, Girona shows modest attacking efficiency. On average, the team scores 0.91 goals per game throughout the season. They have managed to score at least 2 goals only in 2 of their last 11 league matches, breaking through against Valencia and Oviedo, both of which are in the relegation zone. Even at home, Girona has not scored more than 1 goal in 10 of their last 12 La Liga matches.
Alaves has a chance to solidify their status as one of the most reliable teams in La Liga. Although the Basques do not always keep a clean sheet, their opponents usually manage a maximum of 1 goal per match. Over the last 20 La Liga matches, this trend was broken only once, and that happened at their home stadium. Away, Alaves has not conceded more than 1 goal in 9 league games.
Additionally, Girona has scored 2 or more goals in only 1 of their last 6 encounters with Alaves in La Liga. Prediction – Girona Individual Total Under 1.5
