GironaPreview – Can Girona halt losing streak?
Despite sitting in a mid-table position of 12th place in the Spanish second tier, Thursday night’s hosts, Girona, will be looking to avoid a fourth defeat on the trot in La Liga 2 when they entertain relegation threatened Extremadura at their Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.
Recent defeats to Numancia, Mirandes and Rayo Vallecano have well and truly burst Girona’s bubble and put an emphatic end to what was becoming a promising run of 7 matches withiut defeat in La Liga 2 beforehand.
The hosts had registered wins against Extremadura (3-1 away) along with victories over Tenerife, Fuenlabrada and Lugo which had seen Girona climb steadily up the league table, but the recent losses have halted their progress.
Nonetheless, Girona still possess a steady home record which stands at 7-2-2 15/9 and includes just 1 defeat out of their last 5 matches at home, and they registered a convincing 3-1 win in their last encounter against tonight’s opponents too.
ExtremaduraPreview – Can Extremadura extend unbeaten run?
Although they currently occupy fourth from bottom in the Spanish second tier and a place in the relegation zone, Extremadura will be in reasonably confident mood as they prepare for their trip to Girona on the back of 4 matches without a win.
3 draws and 1 win make up this promising upturn in form from the visitors who had previously lost 6 of their 7 matches prior to halting this losing streak when they drew back-to-back matches with Albacete and Malaga before recording a 1-0 win at Sporting Gijon which was followed by another draw against Alcorcon.
In truth though, Extremadura have managed to collect just 2 wins out of their last 12 matches overall in La Liga 2 while their away record reads 3-3-5 11/16, so they may find things tough going at Girona on Thursday night.
