Alaves vs Girona prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 11, 2025
As part of Matchday 19 of La Liga, a clash between Alavés and Girona is set to take place on Saturday, January 11. The match is scheduled to kick off at 14:00 Central European Time. My bet is on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
Alavés established themselves as a solid mid-table team in La Liga last season, but this campaign, they are far from that level. While the team often picks up points in home games, their away matches usually end in disappointment.
With only two points separating them from the relegation zone, Alavés have no choice but to secure points at home against Girona. On the other hand, the Christmas break clearly benefited their opponent, as key players managed to recover during this period.
Girona struggled with competing on two fronts and, predictably, slipped to mid-table. This season, the team only occasionally resembles the form they displayed last year.
The Catalans' current eighth position is not their ceiling, and fans expect improved results in the second half of the league. Michel’s side certainly has the potential to compete for a European spot.
Match Facts
- Alavés has drawn their last five matches.
- Girona has failed to win in four consecutive away games.

- Alavés: Owono, Vicente, Pica, Abqar, Diarra, Sanchez, Guridi, Blanco, Joan Jordán, Martín, García.
- Girona: Gazzaniga, Blind, Krejčí, López, Gutiérrez, Martínez, Martin, van de Beek, Gil, Tsygankov, Ruiz.
Head-to-Head
Alavés has not been defeated by Girona in their last three home encounters.
Prediction
Girona is expected to improve their results, and Alavés doesn’t seem like an unbeatable opponent. I’m betting on Girona to win with a handicap of 0.
