SevillaGirona

The Sevilla-Girona clash has a bit of a lower-table feel to it, but the standings are really tight: Sevilla are 15th (24 points) and Girona 12th (25 points), so getting something out of this matters for both sides. Sevilla's defense is up and down: they've conceded 37 goals in 22 league games (1.68 per match), and they most recently lost 4-1 away at Mallorca. At the same time, their home goal difference is only -1 (16-17), which suggests they do not usually fall apart at home, they tend to play tight games instead.

Girona look more stable overall, but they have not been outstanding away from home (12 points from 11 matches). Their attacking play is built mostly around the Vanat-Tsygankov axis: Vanat has 8 league goals, Tsygankov has 5, so the visitors do have a reliable finisher. That said, their defensive numbers are not pretty either: 30 conceded after 22 rounds (1.36 per match), and there could be extra uncertainty in goal too, since Ter Stegen is injured, so Gazzaniga is expected to start.

The main uncertainty is that both teams' form has been inconsistent, and the visitors are also hit by several absences (multiple midfield/attacking options), while for Sevilla, Marcao's suspension and the overall makeup of the back line can be a risk. Overall, this looks balanced, with a match that projects closer to a 1-1 type of goal picture.
