Espanyol have won three of their last five games 1-0
Girona have lost five of their last seven matches
The visitors have lost seven of 13 away trips in La Liga this term
Espanyol are good value for victory
Espnayol can claim all three points when they host poor travellers Girona on Monday night. The visitors head into this game having lost five of their previous seven La Liga outings, while they’ve been beaten in seven of their 13 trips in this campaign.
Girona have mustered just 10 goals on their travels this term and their underlying numbers point to their struggles on the road. They’ve won on three occasions on their travels, but they generated just 0.7 Expected Goals across their 1-0 victories at Getafe and Alaves, conceding 1.9 xG in return.
Espanyol have put together a solid run of late, losing twice across their previous 11. They’re unbeaten in seven at home, beating Real Valladolid and Real Madrid in their previous three matches at their own ground.
Espnayol are looking solid at the back and they can hold low-scoring Girona at bay here. With the visitors struggling for goals and results, Espanyol are good value to add to a run of three 1-0 victories in their last five starts.
