Girona, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-0 away defeat by Cádiz will have left the Girona squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 57%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Cádiz, who had 12 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 7 and seen valuable points lost. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 21 league games.
Having managed to remain undefeated in 5 of their last 6 home matches at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, they have put together a strong home record of late, winning 3 of these games too.
Almeria, Recent FormThe Almería squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Real Betis, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 52% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Real Betis, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 8 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 20 of their 21 league matches.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 11 games.
With 2 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Almería, Gonzalo Melero will be looking to add more goals against Girona in this match.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Almería.
Girona have scored in each of their last 3 league meetings with Rojiblancos.

Almería manager Joan Francesc 'Rubi' Ferrer has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
