Girona will engage last-set Elche at the Estadi Montilivi in La Liga on Sunday. In their previous match, the hosts held league leaders Barcelona to a goalless draw and are unbeaten in their last three league games. They haven’t been able to move up into the top half of the league table because they have only won one of their last five games.
Elche’s season has gotten even worse as they have lost their last three matches in a row. They are 14 points behind Valencia and Espanyol, which are ranked 19th and 18th, respectively, in the league standings. In their past excursion, they started to lead the pack in the 44th moment by means of Tete Morente which was scattered by Abde Ezzalzouli’s support as Osasuna recorded a 2-1 win.

Girona vs Elche Prediction :
The Blanquivermells have won four of their last six home games, losing two of those contests. Even though they have only two victories against Elche at home, Girona has a very good chance of securing their first-ever league double against Elche.
Los Franjiverdes will need a miracle to stay in the top division because they have been inconsistent all season. They have neglected to score in three of their last five away games and have experienced four losses in that period. In this game at home, Girona is expected to win.
