**Girona's form is smoking, but Almería won't roll over** — the hosts back in Segunda División are 3-1-1 over their last five, while the visitors have quietly strung together three wins and aren't dropping many points. 🔥

Girona dominate the recent head-to-head (7 wins to Almería's 10), but it's tighter than you'd think. Both squads are playing sharp football: Girona's **5-1 demolition of Celta Fortuna** looks scary, yet **Almería's clean sheet record** (0 losses in five) is a slick calling card. The absence of **B. Gil** for Girona stings a bit, though they've got **V. Vanat** up top leading the charge.

Key storylines:

- **Girona's attack** hitting everything at the minute; **Almería's back line** tested by a side in electric form
- **M. Morey and Á. Moreno** holding the fort defensively against a slick visiting midfield
- Missing Gil removes some creative juice, but **Y. Asprilla** can still carve space out wide

Expected lineups:

- **Girona FC**: P. Gazzaniga, Á. Moreno, A. Francés, M. Morey, Y. Asprilla, F. Beltrán, V. Vanat, C. Pérez
- **Almería**: A. Fernández, Á. Muñoz, Chumi, M. Luna, S. Arribas, Q. Junyent, M. d. l. Fuente

Prediction:

**Girona 2–1 Almería.** Slight edge to the hosts riding momentum at home, but Almería's resilience keeps it tight. ⚪
