GIRONA PREVIEW – CAN GIRONA BUILD ON WIN?
After opening their season with a 1-0 defeat away at Valencia, Girona took a win last weekend.
That was with a 3-1 home success over Getafe.
They will be looking to build on that home success with another on Friday night.
In the last corresponding fixture, which was in 2018, Girona took a 3-2 win.
That’s back-to-back victories on home turf that they have taken against Celta Vigo.
In the match outright for Girona vs Celta Vigo betting, the home win is at 9/5*
So Girona are going into the fixture as narrow underdogs in what is a tight market.
They have lost only one of their last four against them.
But they are one of the newly promoted sides to the top flight this season.
Girona only finished sixth in last season’s second tier, just scraping into play-offs.
They did so by a goal difference of one only ahead of Real Oviedo.
So it’s a significant test for them back up at the top level.
Last season on home turf in the second tier, Girona posted a W13 D3 L5 record.
Three of those losses were against teams who finished in the top five.
They will have been delighted to have gotten off the mark last weekend, but this is a test.
CELTA VIGO PREVIEW – CAN VISITORS BANK THE WIN?
It has been a slightly unsteady start from Celta Vigo in this season’s La Liga.
They opened with an exciting home 2-2 draw against Espanyol.
Celta Vigo were then hammered at home against Real Madrid by a 4-1 scoreline.
That perhaps is excusable and they will be desperate to get back on track.
In the match outright, Celta Vigo are a quote of 8/5 for the victory.
Celta Vigo did have some big road struggles in La Liga last term.
They have won only one of their last 10 away league fixtures.
So this is far from cut and dry.

But they did go undefeated against the bottom six away from home, winning three.
