Form Analysis

Alaves have had a mixed run recently, with only 7 wins from 24 matches this season. Their home form has been inconsistent, reflected in their last few results where they have struggled to convert draws into wins. Girona, on the other hand, has shown better form, leveraging their previous victories against Alaves to bolster their confidence.

H2H History

In their last five encounters, Girona has the upper hand with three wins compared to Alaves' one victory. Notably, Girona won the last match 1-0 at home, indicating they have the psychological advantage heading into this fixture. The recent trend suggests that Girona can exploit Alaves' defensive vulnerabilities.

Key Factors

Home advantage typically plays a significant role, but Alaves' struggles at the back could be their undoing. Girona's tactical setup has been effective, particularly in counter-attacking scenarios, which can exploit Alaves' defensive lapses. Additionally, the odds favor a close match, suggesting potential for both teams to score.

Tactical Preview

Alaves will likely adopt a more aggressive approach at home, aiming to control possession. However, Girona's defensive solidity and quick transitions could catch Alaves off guard. Expect Girona to exploit the flanks, while Alaves will need to tighten their defense to avoid conceding early.
