Girona vs Albacete — Tips & Analysis

Under 3: Albacete are the reason we want a quiet game here. They sit 21st of 22 in the table with one point from six games, having scored four goals and let in ten. On the road they score less than a goal a game, and they have not won since May. Girona are the better side by a distance. They sit eighth on ten points and have won three of their last five league games, beating Cadiz 2-1 and Sporting Gijon 2-0. Girona score more than a goal a game and let in about the same, so they win games without running up big scores. That mix points to a controlled evening rather than a shootout. The last four meetings between these two averaged 2 goals in total, and none of Albacete's six league games this season has had more than three goals. A 2-0 Girona win looks the likeliest end, with the hosts ahead early and happy to manage the rest. That score lands on the right side of this one. The warning is Girona themselves. Their six league games this season have averaged just over 3 goals, and that includes a 5-2 win over Las Palmas. They have also let in a goal in five of the six. If Albacete grab one and Girona keep chasing more, the goals column gets busy fast. We still expect the slower version of this game.
