LiontipsBetis vs Girona. Betting Tip (odds 4.35) and bets on the match of the Spanish championship
Command Analysis
Current form
Betis finished seventh last season, their worst La Liga finish in four years. However, it was enough to qualify for the UEFA Conference League play-offs and a fourth straight European qualification. With European fixtures on the horizon, all eyes are on the first game against Girona, a team they failed to beat in the 2023/24 competition, while Manuel Pellegrini remains in charge and aims for a top-six finish.
Disqualifications and injuries
I won't be able to play Bakamba (muscle injury), Garrett (head injury), Isco (leg injury) and Mendy (muscle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Betis lost only three home games last season
- Betis' Juanmi has often impressed on opening day, scoring five goals in his last five starts
Probable line-up : Silva - Sabally, Bartra, Llorente, Perro - Ruibal, Carvalho, Fekir, Fornals, Roca - Juanmi.
Current form
Girona were one of the biggest surprises in Europe's top five leagues last season, finishing third to qualify for the UEFA Champions League in just their fourth campaign in the top flight. History always repeats itself - the Red and Whites have become victims of their own success - last season's top scorer Artem Dovbyk (24 goals) has moved to Roma and now the visitors need to replace him somehow. In addition, five key players missed the last friendly due to a virus, which will add to Michel's problems.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of action are Krejci (virus), Tsygankov (injury), Justin (shoulder injury) and Artero (ankle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
Both teams have scored in the last five La Liga head-to-heads, with Girona opening the scoring in the last four of those encounters
Girona are unbeaten at the Benito Villamarin in three of their last four games
Probable line-up : Juan Carlos - Martinez, Juanpe, Iakobishvili, Romeru - Urena, China, Almena, Solis, Misehou - Stuani.
