Alaves v Girona

Alaves vs Girona Preview

Alaves picked up a third league win on the trot in the Spanish top flight on the weekend with a solid 1-0 win away from home at Valencia which has also helped the hosts up into a more respectable looking mid-table position of 11th in the La Liga table, while Girona still remain the ‘best of the rest' behind the title winners Real Madrid as the visitors also notched a third win on the trot with an impressive 4-2 home win against Barcelona to move into second spot.

Following a worrying period of results previously in La Liga which produced just the single victory in their preceding nine games overall which came in the shape of a 1-0 home win against Rayo Vallecano but also included slipping to five defeats as well, Alaves have alleviated any relegation worries they may have had by putting together a vitally important three-match winning sequence.

Important victories against Atletico Madrid, Celta Vigo and the aforementioned Valencia have now put a 15-point buffer between themselves and third from bottom outfit Cadiz and with just four games of the Spanish top flight campaign remaining, Alaves have now secured their top flight status for another season.

Girona have enjoyed unprecedented success in this season's La Liga campaign as the visitors currently occupy second place in the domestic top flight table and with a 13-point lead over fifth placed Athletic Bilbao, Girona's recent 4-2 home win against Barcelona has not only given the visitors a top four finish but more importantly, a place in the financially lucrative Champions League next season as well.

A three-match winning streak finally saw Girona over the line so to speak as they collected vital wins against Cadiz, Las Palmas and most impressive of all, a 4-2 home win against third placed Barcelona and although Michel Sanchez's side's title challenge eventually ran out of steam, nevertheless it has been an excellent season for the visitors.

Girona had previously endured a tricky and nerve-racking period of results in La Liga as Michel Sanchez's side had managed to capture just three wins out of their preceding nine games whilst also being dealt a potentially damaging five defeats in the process but the away side came good at just the right time to claim a Champions League spot for next term.

With a top four finish now guaranteed, Girona are expected to forget about their worrying previous five-match losing streak on their travels which they halted with a 2-0 win away at Las Palmas in their last outing on the road.
