Almeria v Girona

Almeria vs Girona Preview

Almeria remain in deep trouble at the bottom of the Spanish top flight table following their latest defeat in La Liga which resulted in a 1-0 loss away from home at Osasuna as the hosts' wretched campaign continues, while Girona extended their impressive unbeaten run in the domestic top flight to 11 games overall with an impressive and important 4-3 home win against Atletico Madrid.

Almeria sit rock-bottom of the La Liga table with just five points under their belts and having failed to win any of their games so far in this season's poor campaign, the hosts now find themselves 11 points adrift of fourth from bottom placed Celta Vigo and safety ahead of this tough looking clash with the joint league leaders, Girona.

Having suffered 14 defeats in their 19 league matches played to date this term suggests another tough encounter for Gaizka Garitano's side especially as the bigger picture shows Almeria have failed to win any of their previous 22 games overall in the Spanish top flight.

Within these 22 games, Almeria have slipped to no fewer than 15 defeats thus underlining the problems that the hosts have had in not only managing to hold their own at this level but to also try and find a league win from somewhere.

By contrast, Girona will be brimming with confidence following last weekend's 4-3 home win against Atletico Madrid which not only handed the visitors another important three points but it also maintained their push for what would be a monumental achievement if they could win this season's La Liga title.

The visitors have been handed just the one defeat throughout the whole of this season's campaign so far which came in the form of a heavy 3-0 loss at home to Real Madrid but nevertheless, Girona have been unfazed by this defeat as they have collected no fewer than 15 wins from their last 18 matches overall in La Liga.

Girona have produced impressive performances both home and away in this season's campaign and their success hasn't just been restricted to solid form on home soil as Michel Sanchez's side have won seven of their last eight outings on the road in the domestic top flight.

Interestingly, six of Girona's last seven away wins have also produced three goals or more so goals could also feature in Sunday's encounter at the Power Horse Stadium especially considering Almeria's poor results to date this term.

Almeria v Girona Verdict

Girona have dominated proceedings against Almeria in previous exchanges between the two sides as the visitors have won three of the last four fixtures and all indications suggest another three points looks to be going Girona's way on Sunday lunchtime.
