The Matchday 10 La Liga clash between Girona and Oviedo will take place on October 25 at the Montilivi Stadium. Girona vs. Oviedo: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Girona
After a successful encounter with Valencia, where the team secured their long-awaited first win of the season, Girona nearly took points from Barcelona. In the Catalan derby away, Michel Sanchez's side lost 1-2 due to a heartbreaking goal in the 93rd minute. This ended the club's three-match unbeaten streak in La Liga (1 win, 2 draws), marking the best period for the team in the past six months. Progress is evident, as Girona had only managed to earn one point from the first five rounds. Due to a weak start, the Catalans are still unable to escape the relegation zone. The club is at the bottom of the table, but it's worth noting that Oviedo and Real Sociedad are ahead only on goal difference. Frequent defensive errors remain the main issue, as Girona has conceded a total of 19 goals in the league, the worst record in the tournament.
- The Catalans have won with a handicap (+1.5) in 5 of their last 6 La Liga games.
- The team has conceded in 10 of their previous 11 La Liga matches.
- Girona has not scored more than one goal in 19 of their last 21 league matches.
Predicted lineup for Girona (4-4-2)
Paulo Gazzaniga – Hugo Rincón, Daley Blind, Vitor Reis, Alex Moreno – Axel Witsel, Arnau Martinez, Bryan Gil, Joel Roca – Vladyslav Vanat, Portu.
Midfielder Ivan Martin has served his suspension. Due to injuries, goalkeeper Juan Carlos Martin, defenders Alejandro Frances and David Lopez, as well as midfielder Donny van de Beek, will not be available. Midfielder Azzedine Ounahi's participation is in doubt.
Oviedo
Not long ago, the league newcomer also secured an important victory over Valencia, but after that, Oviedo lost twice in a row. The defeat to Levante before the international break led to a change of head coach, but Luis Carrión's return to the club started unsuccessfully: a week ago, the team suffered a 0-2 home defeat to Espanyol. Thus, Oviedo failed to earn at least one point in 7 of 9 matches since the start of the La Liga season, and the club was unable to score in 6 of these 9 encounters. The team remains the least prolific in La Liga, having scored only 4 goals in total. Oviedo has conceded 16 goals in total, with only Levante and Girona faring worse.
- The club's uncompromising streak in La Liga, playoff matches, and Segunda has reached 11 games (3 wins, 8 losses).
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of Oviedo's previous 9 La Liga matches.
- Oviedo has conceded in 13 of their last 14 La Liga, playoff, and Segunda matches.
Predicted lineup for Oviedo (4-2-3-1)
Aaron Escandell – Rahim Alhassan, Eric Bailly, David Carmo, Nacho Vidal – Santiago Colombatto, Leander Dendoncker – Luka Ilic, Ilyas Chaira, Haissem Hassan – Salomon Rondon.
Defender Alvaro Lemos and midfielder Santi Cazorla are unavailable due to injuries.

Girona vs. Oviedo: Match Prediction
In Matchday 10 of La Liga, two teams occupying the bottom spots in the table and characterized by the weakest attacking performances will face off. However, Girona seems to be gradually coming to life. In the past six league matches, the club has suffered only two defeats, and in the most recent encounter, they were just minutes away from a draw with Barcelona. Before the Catalan derby, Michel Sanchez's side managed a three-match unbeaten streak in La Liga (1 win, 2 draws). At the same time, Girona doesn't always deliver thrilling performances: in 5 of their last 6 league games, there have been 3 goals or fewer.
Oviedo, on the other hand, has only scored 4 goals in 9 rounds since the start of the season. Compensating for a lackluster attack with solid defense often fails, resulting in the club failing to earn points in 7 of their last 9 league matches. Notably, in 8 of these 9 encounters, there were no more than 3 goals scored, and in 6 of them, we saw a maximum of 2 goals. Additionally, Oviedo traditionally struggles on the road. The team has lost 4 of their last 5 away games in La Liga and playoff matches.
Hence, the prediction is – "1X and total under 3.5 goals"
