Sat Jan 11 12:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Girona Aim for Back-to-Back Wins Against Struggling Alaves
**Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain** – Girona FC will look to continue their recent resurgence when they face a struggling Deportivo Alavés on Saturday in a La Liga clash. Girona, currently eighth in the table, are coming off a 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid, their first league win since November. Alavés, on the other hand, are mired in 16th place, having drawn their last four matches and winning only once in their last 12 league games.
Alavés’s recent struggles, including a four-game winless streak, have seen them just two points above the relegation zone, a stark contrast to their 10th-place finish last season. While they managed a 2-2 draw against Girona in their last meeting, Girona will be confident after a 3-0 home win against Alavés last year.
Despite Girona’s impressive third-place finish and Champions League qualification last season, their current form is inconsistent, with only one win in their last six league matches. Injuries to key players Bojan Miovski and Viktor Tsygankov will impact their lineup, although Oriol Romeu returns from suspension.
Alavés also faces injury concerns, with Antonio Sivera and Jon Guridi likely out, though Nahuel Tenaglia’s return from suspension will boost their defense. Kike Garcia, Alaves’ top scorer, is expected to lead the line.
Both teams have released potential starting lineups, highlighting the tactical battles expected. While Girona enjoyed a strong performance in their last match, their away record (two wins in nine games) suggests a tough challenge awaits them. The prediction is a low-scoring draw, reflecting Alavés’ recent penchant for stalemates and Girona’s mixed away form.
