Almeria vs Girona Prediction and Betting Tips

Almeria will entertain Girona in a bottom-of-the-table mid-week La Liga clash on Thursday.

The hosts fell to their sixth defeat of the season as Real Betis inflicted a 3-1 away loss on them on Sunday. They have two wins to their name this term and are in 18th place in the league table with just seven points from nine games.

Girona are winless in their last four league outings but avoided a fourth-straight loss last time around against Cadiz. Substitute Cristhian Stuani scored a last-gasp penalty deep in injury time to salvage a point for Girona in a 1-1 draw.

After the game on Thursday, the two sides will be in league action again on Sunday, so we expect some players to be rested for this game.

Blanquivermells are without a win in their away games and have lost two games in a row in their travels. They have scored a goal apiece in their last three away games and should be able to find the back of the net here.

Given the recent results between the two sides at Thursday's venue, a defeat for the visitors seems unlikely. As Almeria have picked up two wins from four home games this season, they are also likely to hold their own here. With that in mind, a low-scoring draw might ensue.

Prediction: Almeria 1-1 Girona
