The starting lineup for each team in their previous match in this tournament is listed.

Girona

The Catalans have won their last two league matches against opponents from the lower part of the table. They first defeated Leganes at home (4-3) and then beat Getafe away (1-0). This marks only their second two-match winning streak in the current La Liga season. The club has risen to 10th place and is now just two points away from the European competition zone.

• A maximum of three goals have been scored in 7 of Girona's last 8 La Liga games.
• The team has failed to win the first half in five consecutive home league matches (3 draws and 2 losses).
• The number "1" has appeared in the final score in 5 of Girona's last 6 La Liga encounters.

Espanyol

The club missed the last round due to floods in Catalonia. As a result, Espanyol has dropped to 17th place, following a series of three consecutive defeats. Manolo Gonzalez's side lost at home to Sevilla (0-2) and away to Athletic (1-4) and Barcelona (1-3). Notably, this is their second such losing streak in this La Liga campaign. Additionally, only Valladolid (25 goals) has conceded more goals than Espanyol (22 goals) in the current championship.

• The Catalans have lost 6 of their last 7 league matches.
• Both teams have scored in 7 of Espanyol's last 9 La Liga games.
• At least three goals have been scored in 7 of Espanyol's last 9 La Liga matches.

Girona vs. Espanyol: Match Prediction

Michel Sanchez's side has slightly improved their performance by winning their last two league matches. The opponents were not even mid-table teams, which can be said for Espanyol as well. I believe that in the Catalan derby, the hosts, Girona, will come out on top, especially since they have performed better at home this season. Notably, of the 16 goals the team has scored in the current La Liga, 11 have come at Montilivi.

Additionally, in 18 of their last home matches in La Liga, Girona has scored at least two goals 13 times. Manolo Gonzalez's side performs the worst away, having earned just one point from six matches in this La Liga season. The club also concedes an average of 2.1 goals away from home. Moreover, in 10 of their last 14 away league games, Espanyol has conceded at least two goals.

My prediction: Girona individual total over 1.5 goals
