Alaves vs Girona prediction and betting tips - May 10, 2024
The 35th round of the Spanish championship will kick off on Friday evening with a match at the "Mendizorroza" arena, where the local Alaves will host Girona. Here is the prediction for this match from the expert team at Dailysports.
Alaves
Under the guidance of Luis Garcia, last season saw Alaves return to La Liga in highly dramatic playoff encounters. In the current La Liga campaign, the "bean crushers" wisely secured their place without risking further turmoil. Consequently, Alaves currently occupies the 11th position in the league table after 34 rounds, amassing 41 points.
Alaves, led by Luis Garcia Plaza, trails the European qualification zone by 11 points. It's noteworthy that Alaves has displayed excellent form in recent matches. Notably, they secured a 1-0 victory against Valencia away from home last weekend, marking their third consecutive triumph.
Girona
In their recent fixture, the "red-and-whites" hosted Barcelona at their home ground and clinched a resolute 4-2 victory. This win propelled them past the "blaugrana" in the La Liga standings, securing a provisional second place. Furthermore, Barcelona's dropped points in this encounter facilitated Real Madrid's premature clinching of the league title.
Overall, Girona has claimed victory in four out of their last five matches, suffering only one defeat. Apart from Barcelona, they've triumphed over Las Palmas, Cadiz, and Real Betis. However, Girona's away form presents a less favorable picture. Only in their most recent away fixture against Las Palmas did they halt a streak of five consecutive away defeats.
