Can Girona Reignite Their Home Fortress Against Osasuna?

• Girona have conceded four goals in their first two La Liga matches this season.

Best Bet

As Girona prepare to host Osasuna at Estadi Montilivi, both teams come into this fixture with contrasting ambitions for the new season. Girona, still finding their feet after a summer of significant changes, will aim to secure their first win of the season in front of their home supporters. Meanwhile, Osasuna, under new management, will look to maintain their unbeaten start and demonstrate that they can compete away from home as effectively as they have done in Pamplona.

Backing Girona to secure a victory with both teams finding the back of the net is the standout bet for this encounter. Girona’s early-season form has been less than stellar, with a draw and a defeat in their opening two away matches. However, their return to Estadi Montilivi, where they were formidable last season, provides a perfect opportunity to kickstart their campaign. Girona were exceptional at home last season, winning 15 of their 19 matches, and the support from their fans could be the catalyst for a positive result.

Despite losing key players like Artem Dovbyk and Savinho during the summer, Girona have managed to rebuild their squad with ten new additions. While these new faces are still bedding in, the team showed glimpses of their potential, particularly in the 1-1 draw against Real Betis. Their 3-0 loss to Atletico Madrid was harsh, and they were more competitive than the scoreline suggests. This match, their first at home this season, could see them return to the resolute form they exhibited last year.

Osasuna, on the other hand, have made a solid start under Vicente Moreno, securing four points from their first two matches. They were particularly impressive in their 1-0 victory over Mallorca, a result that extended their unbeaten run to six league games. Despite this, Osasuna’s away record has been less convincing, with nine defeats from 19 trips last season. Their struggles on the road could continue against a Girona side keen to make a statement in their first home game.

The betting rationale is bolstered by the fact that while Girona are strong at home, they have shown vulnerability in defence, conceding four goals in their opening two matches. Osasuna, having found the net twice already this season, are likely to exploit any defensive lapses. Given Girona’s solid home form and Osasuna’s ability to score, a home win with both teams getting on the scoresheet offers significant value.

“Girona’s return to Montilivi, combined with Osasuna’s attacking potential, makes this a prime fixture for a home win with goals at both ends,” says BettingTips4You.com expert Gerard Gabasa. “Expect a tight game, but Girona’s home advantage should see them edge it.”

Correct Score Prediction: Girona 2-1 Osasuna

In line with the best bet prediction, a 2-1 scoreline in favour of Girona is a plausible outcome. Girona’s attacking play, particularly at home, suggests they are more than capable of finding the net multiple times against Osasuna. While the visitors have shown defensive resilience, their record away from home remains a concern. Girona, buoyed by the home crowd and their solid home form from last season, are likely to score twice, while Osasuna’s form hints that they could grab a goal to keep the game competitive.

Girona’s defensive statistics suggest they may concede, having allowed four goals in their first two matches. Osasuna, despite being compact defensively, have the capability to breach a Girona defence that has yet to keep a clean sheet this season. However, Girona’s offensive edge, especially with the likes of Bryan Gil eager to open his account, should ultimately be the difference.
