Sevilla vs Girona preview, H2H and probable lineups — 7 February 2026
In Round 23 of the Spanish La Liga, Sevilla will face off against Girona. The match is scheduled for Saturday, 7 February, with kick-off set for 18:30 Central European Time. I'm backing a bet on goals in this clash.
Match preview
Sevilla’s 2025/26 campaign has been marked by inconsistency, but the team remains mid-table in La Liga. They’ve collected 24 points from 22 matches, scoring 29 goals and conceding 37—the latter being the worst defensive record in the division.
Sevilla have shown they can control games and create chances, but their backline frequently struggles against more organized attacks. These defensive lapses have left them in 15th place, perilously close to the relegation zone.
Recently, the Nervionenses have had mixed form: a spirited win over Athletic was followed by a heavy defeat to Mallorca. This inconsistency highlights their struggle to maintain momentum throughout the season.
Home fixtures at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan remain crucial for Sevilla—they typically produce their best football and fight hardest for points on their own turf. It’s also worth mentioning winter signing Neal Maupay, who found the net on his debut.
Girona are enduring another tough season, striving to return to the level that once saw them contend for European spots. The squad clearly lacks the quality needed for the style of play manager Michel demands, which has led to poor spells throughout the campaign.
In recent rounds, Girona have struggled for both goals and consistency, with their latest outing ending in defeat to Real Oviedo—further evidence of their difficulties in the battle for points. Their results have ranged from a heavy loss to Atletico (0-3) to draws and the odd win, but overall, their form remains weak compared to other La Liga sides.
One of Girona’s chief issues is finishing: despite decent combination play in some matches, they fail to convert chances into goals. This makes life even harder, especially against teams with reliable scorers.
Girona’s personnel problems have worsened: Ter Stegen is sidelined for several months with injury, while Solis Romero and Asprilla have departed the club.

Prediction
This match brings together the two weakest defences in the league, so there’s every reason to expect goals from both sides. Both teams know how to find the net, promising an open and uncompromising contest. My bet: both teams to score.
