Girona v Alaves

Girona vs Alaves Preview

We're almost at the halfway stage of this season's La Liga campaign and the surprise package of this Spanish top flight season so far, Girona, still occupy top spot in the La Liga table where they hold a two-point cushion over second placed Real Madrid heading into this weekend's action following an impressive 4-2 win away from home at Barcelona, while Alaves were dealt a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Las Palmas.

Girona's winning momentum has continued to defy their critics and also the equilibrium of the state of things in the Spanish top flight as Monday night's hosts continue to forge ahead and they will be brimming with confidence following that emphatic 4-2 win against one of the ‘old guard' Barcelona last time out when they entertain 13th placed Alaves at their Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Monday night.

Girona have been handed just the one defeat so far in what has been an excellent campaign so far for Michel Sanchez's side as they slipped to a 3-0 defeat at home to Real Madrid but otherwise it's been a case of full steam ahead for Girona who have captured no fewer than 13 wins within their total of 16 league matches played to date.

The hosts have also won six of their eight home games so far this term which includes notable wins against Getafe and Valencia, so Girona look in good shape to add to their points tally in this upcoming clash.

Alaves occupy 13th place and the visitors were unable to lift themselves further up the La Liga table and into the top half of the division as they were handed a disappointing 1-0 loss at home to Las Palmas last weekend, thus making it just two wins collected out of their last 12 matches overall in the Spanish top flight.

Both of these recent rare victories were achieved on home soil though at their Estadio de Mendizorroza with wins collected against Almeria and Granada who both occupy the bottom two positions in the La Liga table, while the bigger picture shows Alaves have registered four wins in total so far this season.

It's worth mentioning though that each of these four wins that Alaves have accumulated have all been recorded on home soil while results away from home continue to be a major concern for manager Luis Garcia as his side have failed to win any of their eight outings on the road.

In addition, Alaves have now failed to win any of their previous 23 away games in La Liga which places them in great danger ahead of this Monday's clash with high-flying Girona.
