The action continues in round four of the Spanish La Liga as Girona play host to Levante at the Estadi Montilivi on Saturday. Both sides have stumbled into the new season and will be looking to secure their first win of the campaign this weekend.
Girona were left with a sour taste of “what could have been” last Sunday when they were held to a 1-1 draw by Celta Vigo after conceding a 92nd-minute equalizer from the penalty spot.
Before that, Michel’s men kicked off the season with three defeats from their opening three matches while conceding 10 goals and scoring just once in that time.
With last weekend’s result, Girona are without a win in their last six La Liga games (5L, 1D) since a 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid on March 13.
Like the home side, Levante were left disappointed last time out when they played to a 2-2 draw against Real Betis after blowing a two-goal lead at the Estadio Ciudad de Valencia.
Julián Calero Fernandez’s men have failed to taste victory in their four La Liga matches this season, losing three and picking up one draw so far.
Levante now journey to the Estadi Montilivi, where they are unbeaten in their last three visits, losing twice and claiming one draw since a 2-1 loss in December 2016.
Girona vs Levante Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
- With nine wins from the last 20 meetings between the sides, Girona boast a superior record in the history of this fixture.

Girona vs Levante Prediction
Having managed just one point from their opening four matches, Girona and Levante will be looking to get their season up and running with their first win of the campaign this weekend.
While we expect both sides to go all out at the Estadi Montilivi, we are backing Michel’s men to come away with a narrow victory in front of their home supporters.
