Girona FC VS Deportivo Alaves - Prediction

This season has been a fairy tale for the Spanish club Girona FC. After being promoted to La Liga in 2017, Girona FC are now leading the point table this season. Despite having giant teams such as FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, or Atletico Madrid, this newly promoted club is now one of the favorite title contenders of the La Liga. With 13 wins, two draws, and a defeat, Girona FC earned 41 points so far from their first 16 games in the league. A win over Departivo Alaves would see them top of the league table with two points ahead of Real Madrid. Girona FC are very committed and determined for the league title, and the 4-1 win over FC Barcelona in their last encounter is a statement of their determination. Girona humiliated Barcelona, one of the best teams in this competition with a great history, away from home, where they cruised past the Catalan club by a 4-1 margin. On the other hand, Deportivo Alaves are not in their prime form this season. Having lost eight of their first 16 matches, they earned only 16 points with four wins and four draws.
