Girona vs. Levante: Match Prediction
Both teams will be eager to secure their first victory in the current championship. They had chances to win in the last round, but both clubs conceded late in their matches. Considering that this match pits them against a potential relegation rival in La Liga, both teams will strive to perform well in attack and outscore their opponent.
At least three goals were scored in 11 of Girona's last 16 home matches in La Liga. Similarly, Levante's away matches in the league have been high-scoring, with such a goal tally in 12 of their last 16 games. Incidentally, Levante conceded two or more goals in 12 of their last 16 away league matches. Therefore, I favor the prediction for Total over 2.5 goals.
