LiontipsGirona vs. Real Sociedad. Forecast (odds 3.40) and bets on the Spanish Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
Girona will return to La Liga after the international break in October with hopes of a better side. After goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga’s heroic ‘hat-trick’ of penalty saves, they eventually found a way to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-1 on the final day thanks to a 99th-minute winner that, ironically, came from the penalty spot. The win ended a previous six-match winless run in all competitions for the hosts, who look to be struggling with the added pressure of being in the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Confidence can be found in Girona’s home form in La Liga, which has seen them lose just two of their last 19 league games on home soil.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out are Porto (ankle injury), Lopez (virus), Justin (shoulder injury), Gil (injury), Solis Romero (muscle injury) and Artero (ankle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
Cristian Stuani was the player who scored the winner against Girona in his final match, which was his third goal from the bench in La Liga this season.
Girona have scored an average of 2.7 goals per game at home in recent games.
Estimated line-up : Juan Carlos - Martinez, Juanpe, Akobishvili, Romeru - Urena, China, Almena, Solis, Misehou - Stuani.
Current form
Given their poor start to the season, Real Sociedad will be concerned that they could be Girona’s next victims, especially considering they have won just two of their first nine La Liga games in 2024/25. A severe lack of goals has been at the root of this poor result, with the visitors failing to score in four of those matches, a figure only surpassed by Leganes and Valencia (both five). The visitors have a strong head-to-head record against Girona, having not suffered a defeat to the Catalan side since 2010.
Disqualifications and injuries
Traore will not be able to play today (knee injury).
Interesting trends for betting
In just three of Real Sociedad nine La Liga games this season have both teams scored - the fewest in the competition.
Four of Brais Mendes' last five goals for Sociedad have come away from home, and he netted in a 5-3 win in this fixture in 2022/23.
Probable lineup : Remiro - Kubo, Cardona, Martin, Lopez - Marin, Gonzalez, Mendez, Barrent - Becker.

1.99Tip and bets
The opponents are serious about the game, and there will be no easy victory at home for Girona – the opponent is serious and determined to change the course of history. Today, we believe that it is quality defense that can ultimately decide the fate of the confrontation, and we do not expect an abundance of goals. However, given the statistics of past games – both clubs scored in two of the last three duels, we expect an exchange of goals.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it with odds of 1.95
Bet on the outcome
It is difficult to give preference to one of the teams, especially since the opponents are difficult and unstable. We believe that the guests have more chances today - Real Sociedad has a positive statistics of personal meetings, while Girona has serious losses, which will ultimately give the representatives of San Sebastian a chance to take away the important three points.
Forecast - Asian handicap (0) on Real Sociedad and we bet on it for 2.12
Bet on corners
Since we expect an open game from both teams, it is likely that we will see a lot of attacking action from both teams and a decent number of corners in this match.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.62
