🏆 Match stats: Girona to bounce back
This is a must-win game should Girona wish to reignite their chances of winning the league this season.
Despite their poor form in recent weeks, Girona still possess a strong home record, having won ten of their 13 matches on home soil. It is worth noting that the hosts have faced ‘top seven’ opposition in all of the three games in which they have dropped points at the Estadi Montilivi. The hosts have looked strong at both ends at home, possessing the third-best offensive record in the league, while conceding an average of just 1.07 goals per home match.
Osasuna have not been convincing on the road this season, especially when facing tough opposition. The visitors have faced three of the league’s top six, losing against all of Betis, Barcelona and Real Madrid. Osasuna have regularly switched off defensively in away matches, conceding in all but one of their last nine fixtures on away soil.
Girona have already beaten Osasuna this season, and with their strong home record, we expect them to pick up all three points here. The bookies are offering a reasonable price of 1.57 for the home win.
Predictions:
⚽ Girona to win @ 1.57
🎯 Shooting stats: Tsygankov to test Osasuna’s keeper
Girona have caused problems for their opponents’ keepers on countless occasions this season, registering an average of 5.62 shots on target per home game thus far.
One player that has played a key role in this is Viktor Tsygankov. The Ukrainian winger has hit the target at least once in all of his last four home starts, registering an average of 1.25 shots on target per game along this run.
Tsygankov found the target once when Girona last faced Osasuna, scoring in the process, and an excellent price of 1.91 is available for Tsygankov to find the target at least once here.
Predictions:
⚽ Viktor Tsygankov to have 1+ shots on target @ 1.91
🚩 Corners stats: Expect plenty of corners
Girona have taken an average of 4.3 corners per home match this season, forcing at least three corners in ten of their 13 home games. Meanwhile, the hosts have leaked plenty of corners, conceding an average of 4 corners per match on home territory.
Like Girona, Osasuna have forced their fair share of corners on the road, earning an average of 3.38 corners per away game. The visitors have been susceptible to conceding corners, facing an average of 5.08 corners per away fixture.
An average of 7.7 corners have been taken in Girona’s home matches, while Osasuna’s away fixtures have seen an average of 8.54 corners per match.
Nine corners were taken when the pair last met in La Liga, and the bookies are offering a price of 1.29 for at least eight corners to be taken, with value of 1.50 being offered for there to be a minimum of nine.
Predictions:
⚽ Over 7.5 total corners @ 1.29
⚽ Over 8.5 total corners @ 1.50
🛑 Fouls stats: Budimir to get stuck in
Osasuna have struggled to keep things clean this season, committing an average of 14 fouls per game so far. The visitors have committed a minimum of ten fouls in all of their last nine league matches.
Top scorer Ante Budimir has been a persistent culprit across the season, committing an average of 1.6 fouls per match. The Croatian striker has fouled at least once in all of his last four appearances, committing an average of two fouls per match along this run.
Value of 1.25 is available for Budimir to commit at least one foul, with a price of 2.25 available for the Croat to foul twice or more.
Predictions:
⚽ Ante Budimir to commit 1+ fouls @ 1.25
⚽ Ante Budimir to commit 2+ fouls @ 2.25
