Alaves
The team had a hard time returning to La Liga the day before last – only because of face-to-face matches. She was promised a very tough fight for survival, but instead managed to get a foothold in the middle of the table. As is often the case, the next year is shaping up to be quite difficult for the former elite division rookie. As a result, at the beginning of December, the coach was changed, being one point away from the relegation zone. Only the successor of Luis Garcia Plaza, Eduardo Coudet, managed to make his debut after losing in the cup to the semi-amateur Deportivo Minera. And even in Primera, the Argentine did not win, but he did not lose either. The Bean Destroyers finished the year with goalless draws against Osasuna, Athletic and Valencia, and are in 16th position, 2 points ahead of top three outsiders Espanyol.

Girona
The club was simply doomed to fall in this season. Very unexpected, sudden was the success last season, only the fourth for him in the Primera, and only the second after returning from Segunda. The Girondins led for a long time, and finished third. But just in the summer, too many leaders left, let even Michel Sanchez stay. The debut in the Champions League turned into a series of defeats, and only with Slovan, a hopeless outsider, the Spaniards managed the first victory – it remains the only one, moreover, they lost the rest of the meetings there. Relegation from the cup was an even bigger shock, because modest UD Logroños won a penalty shootout with a defender in goal! Also, the club went to the Premier League, where only due to the defeat of Getafe before the break, it balanced the number of wins and losses and is in 8th place. However, there is every chance to fight for at least the 7th place, although the competition is incredibly tight.
Statistics of personal meetings
Last season, playing for the first time since 2019, the Girondins took four out of six possible points.
Forecast
Bookmakers consider the odds to be equal. In 2024, the clubs did not impress. They will try to add, but for now we choose a total of less than 2.5 goals (coefficient – 1.71).
