Girona vs. Alaves - prediction, lineups and live broadcast

The La Liga match between Girona and Alavés on April 5, 2025, presents a compelling clash of contrasting fortunes. Girona currently occupies the 13th position in the league standings and has struggled recently, remaining winless since February, including a heavy defeat to Barcelona . In contrast, Alavés finds itself in a precarious situation at 17th place as they battle against relegation. Their recent form includes three consecutive draws but a notable absence of victories against Girona since May 2019 adds pressure to their performance .

Girona were beaten last game and this was on their travels at Estadio Olimpico Lluis Companys. Barcelona claimed a 4-1 win. They enjoyed just 31% possession and had two shots on target, with Arnaut Danjuma bagging the goal.

Deportivo Alavés were beaten in their previous game, losing 2-0 at home to Rayo Vallecano at Estadio Mendizorroza. The Vitoria-Gasteiz outfit had the lion’s share of the ball recording 56% possession and four shots on goal.

Girona have not lost to Alavés in the past three meetings. In their last encounter, Girona claimed a 1-0 away win at Estadio Mendizorroza. The previous 5 H2H meetings have ended in two Girona victories, two draws and one Alavés win.

Alaves will hope to catch Girona short as their push to avoid La Liga relegation on matchday 30 takes them to Estadi Montilivi on Saturday. This match between the 13th-placed Blanquivermells and the 17th-placed Babazorros comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.

With 34 points, Girona are six points behind European qualification but only seven points above the relegation zone. Alaves have 27 points and are only above the relegation zone due to goal difference.

A 4-1 thrashing at the hands of derby rival Barcelona last weekend meant that Girona are winless in seven consecutive games (D3, L4). Their gap to European qualification looks far more daunting than the buffer to relegation, so the hosts will have to be careful.

Girona possible starting lineup: Gazzaniga; A Martinez, Blind, Krejci, Gutierrez; Arthur, Herrera, Van de Beek; Portu, Danjuma, Tsygankov

Alaves possible starting lineup: Sivera; Diarra, Abqar, Mourino, Sanchez; Jordan, Blanco; Cabanes, Guridi, Alena; Kike Garcia

Predictions favor Girona to secure a victory based on their superior league position and historical advantage over Alavés. The home team's possession-based style is expected to exploit Alavés' more rigid approach . Key players such as Christian Stuani for Girona and Jon Guridi for Alavés will be pivotal in determining the match's outcome. Though specific lineups are yet to be confirmed, both teams will aim for a decisive performance that could influence their respective seasons significantly.
