Elche vs Girona Nigeria odds comparison

Elche host Girona on 7 December 2025 in a LaLiga clash that could influence both clubs' fight for mid‑table stability. Elche have gathered just one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings, scoring three goals while conceding eight – a stark contrast to their season‑average of 1.2 goals for and 1.0 against. Girona arrive on the back of a mixed run of two wins, one draw and two losses, with eight goals scored and ten let in across the same span, marginally better than their 1.8‑goal average on both ends. The head‑to‑head record favours Girona, who have secured three victories in five meetings, while Elche have only one win and a single draw. Recent meetings show Girona often scoring away and keeping Elche’s defence vulnerable. Both sides face tough upcoming fixtures – Elche against Real Madrid and Getafe, Girona against Real Betis and Real Madrid – adding extra motivation to seize three points. The numbers suggest a tight, potentially high‑scoring encounter, with Girona slight edge based on recent form and historical dominance.

Both clubs exhibit defensive vulnerabilities, yet Girona’s recent matches show a higher goal average (1.8) compared with Elche (1.2). Elche have conceded eight goals in five games, averaging 1.6 per match, while Girona have allowed ten, a 2.0 per‑match rate, indicating both sides are likely to feature open play. Penalties have featured prominently – Elche conceded a penalty in the 89th minute against Real Sociedad, while Girona were involved in three penalty incidents against Oviedo. Goal timing suggests Elche’s lone win came early (47th minute) and their draw against Bilbao featured a late equaliser, hinting at late‑stage resilience. Girona’s draws and losses frequently involve conceding after taking the lead, as seen in the 3-3 Oviedo match where they surrendered three goals. The head‑to‑head data reinforces Girona’s edge, with three away wins, suggesting they can exploit Elche’s defensive lapses on the road. Overall, the numbers point to a match with potential for multiple goals and a possible advantage for Girona in exploiting set‑piece and penalty situations.

After the 7 December fixture, Elche will travel to Real Madrid on 23 November in a high‑profile LaLiga clash, followed by an away trip to Getafe on 28 November and a Copa del Rey tie at Quintanar del Rey on 3 December. Those matches heighten the stakes for a win against Girona, as a positive result could boost morale ahead of the Real Madrid test. Girona, meanwhile, face Real Betis away on 23 November, then host Real Madrid on 30 November before a Copa del Rey match against Ourense on 3 December. A strong performance against Elche could provide momentum for the Betis and Madrid fixtures, while a loss may add pressure. Both clubs’ upcoming calendars suggest they will treat the December encounter as a pivotal point to build confidence or recover form ahead of challenging opponents.

Considering Elche’s modest attacking return (three goals in five recent games) and Girona’s slightly higher scoring rate (eight in five), coupled with Girona’s superior head‑to‑head record, the numbers lean toward a narrow Girona win. Elche’s defence has been leaky, conceding eight goals, while Girona’s defence, though also porous, has managed occasional clean sheets. Expect Girona to press early, possibly taking the lead before halftime. A plausible scoreline is Girona 2, Elche 1, with Girona scoring through a set‑piece or penalty and Elche pulling one back via a late effort.

The match appears suited to the over‑2.5‑goals market, given both sides have averaged above one goal per game and have been involved in high‑scoring recent fixtures (e.g., Girona’s 3-3 draw). Both teams have shown a tendency to concede, making both‑teams‑to‑score (BTTS) a strong option. Girona’s historical edge (three away wins) suggests they could be slight favorites at odds around 1.80, with Elche as underdogs near 2.30. Considering the defensive frailties, a bet on "Elche to score first" carries moderate risk but could offer value at around 2.20. For a balanced approach, a double‑chance on Girona (win or draw) at roughly 1.45 and a combined bet on over‑2.5 goals plus BTTS could provide solid returns if the game opens up as the statistics imply.
