Sevilla vs Girona: Spanish Championship Match Prediction
Sevilla played poorly at the start of the Primera, but hopes for a successful season are not yet lost. Will the hosts be able to win on September 1 in the duel with Girona, which has always been a difficult opponent? Our experts assessed the teams' chances and the best betting options for this confrontation. Star expert Igor Semshov also shared his opinion on this game
Command Analysis
Sevilla
SpainCurrent form
Javier García Pimienta remains winless after three games in charge. The specialist was appointed in the summer, having led Las Palmas to promotion and kept them in La Liga against the odds. Pimienta has also failed to win six of his first seven games and will be looking to pick up points against last season’s surprise winners. The results are contributing to their worst league finish in 20 years. The outlook at home is not much better, as the Rojiblancos have lost three away games in a row, despite scoring first-half goals in each of the last two.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of action are Niguez (muscle injury), Suso (knee injury) and Ocampos (knee injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Five of Sevilla's last six La Liga games have ended in a draw at half-time
- Dodi Lukebakio scored Sevilla's only home goal this season and could be well placed to score their next as four of his six goals, including two decisive strikes, have come here since joining the club
- Sevilla have won four and lost their last three matches at home
Probable line-up : Nyland - Sanchez, Niangzou, Martinez, Pedrosa - Bueno, Carmona, Sow - Lukebakio, Romero.
Girona
SpainCurrent form
Girona are two points clear of Sevilla at this early stage thanks to a thumping 4-0 win at Osasuna which kick-started their campaign in midweek. The win came on a significant day as Spain’s 14th UEFA Champions League debutants, and first since Sevilla in 2007-08, learned who they will face in their maiden campaign in Europe’s top flight. The visitors will be hoping to secure their first away win in the league this season, especially given coach Michel’s impeccable record against Pimienta, which includes two away wins by two goals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of the game are Justin (shoulder injury) and Artero (ankle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Five of Girona's last six away league games have seen goals scored in both halves.
- Girona won 39 per cent of their away games last season as underdogs heading into the round
Estimated line-up : Juan Carlos - Martinez, Juanpe, Akobishvili, Romeru - Urena, China, Almena, Solis, Misehou - Stuani.

Most likely, both teams will try to find a way to the opponent's goal from the first minutes. The opponents are set for success before the short break, and success today can have a positive effect on the players' morale. All this will only add to the fans' chances to enjoy the abundance of attacks and scoring chances.
Our prediction is total over 3 goals and we bet on it for 2.18
Bet on the outcome
We believe that Girona will not be able to hold out today. Sevilla will try to break their losing streak and prove that the team is alive. It is essential for the head coach to break his own losing streak against Michel. We assume that the Nervionese will not only be able to hold out, but will also take three points.
Prediction: Sevilla win and we bet on it for 2.30

This fight will most likely not be an exception and may lead to a lot of violations, some of which may be severely condemned by the referee. Moreover, in two of the last four fights, the referee did not show less than four yellow cards.
