Cordoba vs Girona — Tips & Analysis

Cordoba +0.25: Girona do not win on the road. They took 0 wins, 3 ties and 3 losses away from home last season, so that is six trips without a win. They are also missing most of their creative players. Tsygankov, Vanat, Ounahi, Portu and van de Beek are all listed out, which leaves them short of anyone who can open a game up. Girona score about a goal a game and let in about the same. Their season is a string of tight results. They tied 6 of their last 14 games, and 6 of the other 8 were losses by exactly one goal. Cordoba are patchy, but they carry the bigger threat here. They lost 3-2 at Burgos in their opening game and created plenty of chances while doing it. At home last season they took 3 wins, 2 ties and 2 losses. Girona will sit deep and defend in numbers, so a 1-1 is the likeliest score. Cordoba only need to avoid defeat for this to land. The warning is real though. Girona played nearly all of that 14 game run in La Liga, so they are a better team than the record makes them look. Cordoba have also lost by 2 or more goals in 4 of their last 14, so they can fall apart. We still want Cordoba with the head start.
