Alaves vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips (11 January)

Deportivo Alaves ended the year 2024 in apotheosis, as evidenced by its negative series of six games without a win, including two defeats on the pitch of Villarreal 3-0, and subsequently on the pitch of Atlético Madrid 2-1. To date, the Basques are still riding a semblance of improvement with four successive parity scores against Leganes 1-1, on the Osasuna pitch 2-2 , for the reception of Athletic Club 1-1, and at Mestalla to close 2024 against Valencia 2-2 . In the standings, El Glorioso is languishing at the bottom of the table with only two small points ahead of Espanyol Barcelona, ​​first in relegation. If we had to draw conclusions at mid-season, obviously Girona is less in shape compared to last year but last year, it had its best season in its history by qualifying for the Champions . European adventure otherwise well contrasted with porous results and an elimination which seems inevitable.

In La Liga, the Blanquivermells pay for the sequence of matches and find themselves outside the European folding seats but well present in the race for Europe with five lengths behind Mallorca which has already played its 19th day. After a series of six matches without the slightest victory in all competitions and in particular an unexpected elimination in the 32nd finals of the Copa del Rey, the residents of Montilivi managed to end 2024 with a clear and flawless success against Valladolid at home 3-0. Remember that before that, they had conceded two important defeats against Mallorca at La Palma 2-1, and against Real Madrid at home despite a very good first half hour of play 0-3.  

Seriously injured and not back before March according to the medical staff, the starting goalkeeper Sivera will miss this poster. Defender Santiago Mouriño is not certain to play due to a physical problem while the important Guridi, who was injured against Valencia before the Christmas break, recovered during the rest period and will play today today. Author of 5 goals in the league, striker Kike Garcia does not disappoint unlike offensive rookie Stoichkov, who in the space of 15 appearances in La Liga this season has still not found the string. In the transfer window, the Basques have just signed young Argentine defender Facundo Garces from Colon.   The infirmary has for a long time been a major problem for Girona which, over the weeks, has seen its squad return to full strength. However, Miovski (important) is still on the flank and will be out of action for this trip, the same goes for Tsygankov who has hissing adductors while winger Portu remains uncertain (glitch).

Suspended for the last match of 2024, midfielder on loan from Barça Oriol Romeu will return to the group. We had to wait until the last match of the year to see Danjuma make his first golaso ​​with Girona (13 appearances). The supporters and managers who took him on loan from Villarreal last summer expect much more from the Dutchman. Returning from injury against Valladolid, Yangel Herrera (starter) could start in midfield today. Note that goalkeeper Pau Lopez was sent back to OM (end of loan) and it is the Ukrainian international hopeful Krapyvtsov who left his bags in Catalonia (free).
