A duel that is unequal in the table but will be very even is the one that Girona and Sevilla will play this Sunday for matchday 21 of LaLiga.
The surprising Girona is still at the top of the table with an excellent undefeated record, but in their previous game, they had a setback that can mean wear on the team.
Incredibly, Sevilla is again fighting at the bottom of the table, and this time it’s in a harsh situation with an important negative streak.

Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Girona?
Watching this Girona is reminiscent of the Leicester of the 2015/16 season. More than half of the tournament has already passed, and they are still the leaders with an unbeaten 16-game streak, also considering the Copa del Rey.
However, the Catalan side dropped some key points last weekend with a goalless away draw against Almería, the worst team in the tournament and Europe’s top leagues. As a result, Michel’s team was left with 49 points, one more than Real Madrid, but also one more match than the ‘Merengues’ who were in Saudi Arabia playing the Spanish Super Cup.
Now Girona returns home, where they have four wins in a row, including the great game against Atlético Madrid (4-3). Nevertheless, it’s of note that they suffered their only defeat of this season here: against Real Madrid on September 30 (0-3).
The Rojiblancos will have the tough loss of Aleix García, one of the best players of LaLiga, sent off in the previous match. He would be the only change in the team and more than likely, Sávio will be his replacement.
Why Bet on Sevilla?
If they had said at the beginning of the season that Sevilla would be in 17th position with only 16 points by now, no one would have believed it. But it is true. The Andalusians have three wins, seven draws, and ten defeats. They are not in relegation places only because Cadiz’s goal difference (-15) is worse than theirs (-5).
Quique Sanchez Flores’ team has already lost three league games in a row. Precisely, the Spanish coach, who arrived at the end of December, has three wins and three defeats, but two of those victories were in the Copa del Rey.
The problem for the Nervionenses is that their defense has been very leaky, while in attack they have been effective and are the ninth-highest-scoring team. In this campaign, they have only managed to keep a clean sheet on three occasions. Precisely, the injuries of defenders Nemanja Gudelj and Marcos Acuña do not help in the task of preventing goals. Left-back Kike Salas is also an injury doubt.
The good news for the team is that Erik Lamela, who was injured, was called up for the match against Getafe in the Copa del Rey, although he did not have minutes.
Final Betting Analysis: Girona vs. Sevilla
The last time they met was on August 26th, last year, and Girona won as visitors by 1-2. The Catalans have four victories in a row against this rival and are ahead in the history since they have only played seven times. There have been no draws.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Girona as the favorite. The Moneyline for them shows 1.78, while Sevilla has 4.62, and the draw is at 4.16.
Despite their setback against Almeria, Girona is one of the teams playing better in European soccer. Meanwhile, Sevilla has shown that it is sunk in a well, so we believe the locals will take the three points.
Go for a win in Girona’s Moneyline. If you bet $100 at 1.78, you will gain $78 for a total payout of $178.
