Girona is slowly declining in appearance, in the last 5 matches alone they have experienced 2 defeats and one draw, this proves that their performance is indeed declining. This has been discussed before, yes we all speculated whether they would be fine throughout the season or they would show a decline and now we see them declining and having to fall further behind Real Madrid who are at the top of the standings.
Now they only have a 2 point advantage over Barcelona who are directly below them, which makes them even more vulnerable to being overtaken by Barcelona. I think they will be displaced in the near future if they can't show quick improvement. The results achieved by Girona in the last few matches have created a big advantage for Barcelona, even though Barcelona is also not in a good condition, in fact Girona is approaching itself.
Girona's next match will host Rayo Vallecano, on paper they have the advantage over their guests. I think they should be able to take advantage of this match very well, it is an opportunity for them to win again after failing in the last 3 matches they played. If they fail again in this match, then it will be something very disappointing for them.
Yes, we have previously discussed that sooner or later Girona will experience a surprising decline in performance and the legacy of football will remain with big clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid who will succeed in occupying first place and in this case it looks like Real Madrid will still be in the lead but Barcelona has the opportunity to knock Girona from second place.
We'll see in the upcoming match next month, Girona will face Rayo, while Rayo yesterday held a draw when they met Real Madrid and I am aware that past statistical data can still be a consideration for predictions, whereas from the data we can see, Girona is indeed superior and It is favored by bookies but we have to consider Rayo's draw and 1x win.
I'm pretty sure that Girona will split the score and end up in a draw.
Remember, Rayo is a weak club but this club can cause difficulties for top clubs.
If in the upcoming match Girona fails to win against Rayo or only ends in a draw it seems like there is no hope for Girona and they will be replaced by Barcelona and if Girona continues to experience consistent losses there will be other clubs like Atletico Madrid who will catch up quickly. Girona's point difference is only 4 points and this difference is very easy for Atletico Madrid to catch up with.
I would avoid betting on this match after a lot of analysis and I doubt there are any surprises in this match and in fact I expect Girona to lose.
