Girona run of good form to continue
After an impressive two years at Real Valladolid, 55-year-old Jose Rojo Martin was appointed Villarreal manager three games into the 2023/24 season, replacing Quique Setien. He’s had a mixed start, winning one, drawing one and losing one of his three league games in charge.
El Submarino Amarillo currently sits in 12th place, three points off Valencia in the European spots and three points clear of Celta Vigo, who occupy the relegation places. Villarreal have struggled for consistency so far. An opening day 1-2 loss to Real Betis was followed up by a 0-1 win over Mallorca, before losing 3-4 and 3-1 to Barcelona and Cadiz, respectively, before beating Almeria 2-1. They are fresh off a 1-1 draw away at Rayo Vallecano. With the Europa League to contend with, it will be intriguing to see where Villarreal’s priorities lie.
After an entertaining season that saw them finish 10th, Girona have started this campaign in storming form, winning five of their first six games. A reselout 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on the opening day has been followed up by five straight wins: 3-0, 1-2, 1-0, 2-4, and 5-3 over Getafe, Sevilla, Las Palmas, Granada, and Mallorca, respectively. Miguel Ángel Sánchez Muñoz plays entertaining football and are currently tied with Barcelona as the league’s top scorer. If the Blanquivermells continue this fine form and qualify for Europe, it will be a monumental feat for the Catalan club.
Due to the managerial turnover at Villarreal and the impressive start to the season for Girona, we predict the Catalan underdogs to pick up the victory.

Three in a row for Savio
19-year-old Savio has been a standout player for Girona so far this season, with two goals and three assists in six starts. The Brazilian u20 international is on loan from Troyes, with Girona exploiting the City Group links to secure the services of the talented teen on a temporary basis.
In nine starts in the Eerste Divisie for PSV Reserves last season, Savio scored two and assisted two goals. He lighted up games with his fantastic dribbling and trickery, as well as possessing a rare coolness in the final third for someone of his age.
Savio scored in the 5-3 win over Mallorca and the 2-4 win over Granada, showcasing his tremendous ability. We feel Savio will make the difference for the Blanquivermells and score three goals in three games.

Their three away games have seen GG land, with 11 goals in three games. Girona games last season were full of goals, with the Catalan side scoring 58 and conceding 55 goals at an average of 2.97 goals per game.
Five of Villarreal’s six games have seen GG, with the 1-0 win at Mallorca the only game to not see this land.
