Girona vs Alaves prediction, H2H and probable lineups – 8 November 2025
One of the matches of the 12th round of the Spanish championship will take place on Saturday at the Estadi Montilivi in Girona, where the local side will host Alaves. We offer a goal-focused prediction for this clash, with strong odds for success.
Match preview
Girona comes into this match as the clear underdog of La Liga. The team, which was playing in the main stage of the Champions League just last season, now sits at the bottom of the table with only seven points. Despite having plenty of quality players in their squad, the Catalans have endured a disastrous start to the season—struggling both in attack and defense.
In the last round, Girona suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Getafe and dropped to last place, as their direct rival, Oviedo, managed a draw and overtook them. The only goal for Girona in that match was once again scored by Cristian Stuani—a true club legend. The Uruguayan veteran, often coming off the bench, continues to rescue his team and remains their top scorer this season.
Alaves, on the other hand, have been a pleasant surprise. Eduardo Coudet's squad are confidently holding their place in the top half of the table, currently sitting eighth and having a real shot at European qualification. In the previous round, Alaves pulled off a hard-fought win over Espanyol, despite playing most of the second half with ten men.
However, for the upcoming match, the team will be without their main striker Lucas Boyé, who received a red card and will miss the clash with Girona—a significant loss for the "blue" side.
Match facts and head-to-head
- Girona have conceded in each of their last five matches.
- Over two goals have been scored in four of the last five matches.
- Over two goals were scored in three of Alaves' last five matches.
- In the last ten head-to-head meetings, Girona holds a slight advantage with four wins. Alaves have won three times, and three matches ended in a draw.
- The last meeting between these teams ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for Alaves.
Probable lineups
- Girona: Gazzaniga - Martinez, Reis, Blind, Moreno - Witsel, Martin, Ounahi - Gil, Roca, Vanat
- Alaves: Sivera - Otto, Tenaglia, Parada, Lekhedim - Calebe, Blanco, Suárez, Aleñá - Guridi, Martinez
Prediction
Girona matches are traditionally high-scoring affairs, and I don't think this one will be any different. Especially since Alaves have scored nine goals in their last two games—granted, seven of those came against an amateur side in the Copa del Rey, but it's still a sign of strong attacking form. So I'm expecting a lively, attacking match and recommend a bet on over 2 total goals.
