The hosts are hitting their stride, while the visitors are struggling: Girona vs Albacete prediction
The Spanish Segunda clash between «Girona» and «Albacete» in the next round will take place on September 25 at Estadi Montilivi in Girona. After six rounds, the hosts sit eighth with 10 points, while «Albacete» are near the bottom of the table with just one point and head into the away game on the back of a prolonged winless run.
Girona: the attack has found its rhythm, Asprilla is driving the play
«Girona» have won three of their last five matches and beat «Cádiz» 2-1 away in the previous round. Before that, the team thrashed «Las Palmas» 5-2 and defeated «Sporting» Gijón 2-0, while their only defeat during this run came against league leaders «Castellón» — 1-2.
Yaser Asprilla has emerged as the key attacking figure, scoring three goals in his last four appearances. «Girona» have found the net 10 times across their previous five matches, while their high possession volume — more than 1,575 passes during that span — helps the hosts apply sustained pressure and regularly finish attacks with shots.
Albacete: one point and serious problems on the road
«Albacete» are enduring a difficult start to the season: four defeats and one draw in their last five matches. In the previous round, the team lost 1-2 to «Córdoba», having earlier drawn 1-1 with «Granada» and suffered defeats to «Castellón» 0-2, «Real Oviedo» 0-1 and «Real Sociedad B» 1-2.
During this stretch, the visitors have scored just two goals and conceded nine. Mario Soberón remains their most active player in attack — he has registered 10 shots in his last four matches but is yet to score, while «Albacete» have lost four and drawn one of their last five away games.
Match facts and head-to-head record

The gap in current form is too clear to ignore: Girona vs Albacete prediction
«Girona» look significantly more convincing both in terms of results and the quality of their attacking play. The hosts are scoring consistently, enjoying plenty of possession and will have home advantage against an opponent that regularly concedes and rarely picks up points on the road.
«Albacete» may try to slow the tempo and stay as compact as possible, but their current defensive numbers leave far too many questions unanswered. If «Girona» maintain their recent attacking efficiency, the hosts could well prevail by two goals or more.
