Deportivo Alaves come into the game on the back of a good 1-0 win at Valencia last weekend. With the score 0-0 at half time, Deportivo Alaves opened the scoring in the 68th minute and held on to their clean sheet to secure maximum points.
The victory over Valencia means Deportivo Alaves have won each of their last 3 fixtures in La Liga.
There was an excellent 2-0 home win over Atletico Madrid and that was followed by a 3-0 victory at home over Celta Vigo.
The stats show Deportivo Alaves are undefeated in 5 of their 6 most recent La Liga games on home soil.
They have been strong defensively in recent league matches and have kept a clean sheet in each of their last 3 La Liga fixtures.
Deportivo Alaves have conceded only 1 goal in their 4 most recent home La Liga games.
Girona travel to the Estadio de Mendizorroza having clinched their place in the Champions League next season thanks to a tremendous 4-2 home win over Barcelona last weekend in La Liga.
Barcelona took the lead after just 3 minutes but Girona were level immediately. Barcelona scored their second goal on the stroke of halftime to lead 2-1 at the interval.
Into the second half and Girona were excellent, they equalised in the 65th minute and took the lead 2 minutes later. Girona secured an historic victory with their fourth goal in the 75th minute.
The win over Barcelona means Girona have won each of their last 3 La Liga fixtures. The additional wins have come over Cadiz at home and Las Palmas away.
However, trends show Girona have managed just 1 win in their last 6 away league games.
They have lost 5 of their last 6 La Liga matches on the road but have not suffered a loss to Deportivo Alaves in 5 of their most recent 6 clashes in all competitions.
Looking ahead to the teams news and Deportivo Alaves are without injured defender Ruben Duarte.
Girona make the trip without the injured duo of Ricard Artero and Joel Roca Casals. There are also doubts over the fitness of Borja Garcia and Cristhian Stuani.
Having booked their place in the Champions League, the next goal for Girona is to finish second in the table. They have not been great in away matches of late but have a strong recent record against Deportivo Alaves.
We predict both teams to score and Girona to win the match.
