Girona host Almería in La Liga 2 on November 8, 2026, with kick-off set for 15:15 local time at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi. Both clubs have made strong starts to the season: Girona sit seventh, while Almería are second. The home side are looking to respond to a narrow defeat after a seven-match unbeaten run, whereas the visitors arrive without a loss in their last five matches. With both teams averaging close to two goals scored per league game, this Girona vs Almería preview points to an intriguing contest between two productive attacks.

Girona's Recent Form and Key Stats

Girona lost 1-0 to Real Sociedad II on October 31, bringing their seven-game unbeaten sequence to an end. They played for more than 75 minutes with a player fewer and did not concede until the 86th minute. Across their last five matches, Girona have recorded three wins, one draw and one defeat, scoring an average of 2.0 goals per game and conceding 0.6.

Their La Liga 2 record stands at six wins, three draws and three defeats. Girona average 1.8 goals scored and 0.9 conceded per league match, reflecting an approach that has produced goals without consistently leaving them exposed. Before the Real Sociedad II defeat, they had beaten Andorra 2-0 and Celta Fortuna 5-1, with the latter result their biggest win in the sequence described in the match information.

Two players have been particularly important in front of goal. Vanat has five goals and two assists from eight appearances, while Yaser Asprilla has contributed five goals and one assist in ten league matches. Girona have also led at half-time in seven of their last ten La Liga 2 games. Maintaining their attacking output after the setback against Real Sociedad II will be central to their response.

Almería's Recent Form and Key Stats

Almería come into this fixture in second place with eight wins, two draws and two defeats in La Liga 2. Their most recent match ended in a 1-1 draw with SD Eibar on October 31. Over their last five outings, they have taken two wins and three draws, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game. That unbeaten five-match stretch gives them a solid platform for the trip to Girona.

The visitors' season-long averages are similarly strong: 1.9 goals scored and 0.8 conceded per league match. Their recent results include a 2-2 draw with Oviedo and the 1-1 draw against Eibar, following a run of victories that featured wins over Córdoba, Celta Fortuna, Mallorca, Burgos, Leganés and Real Sociedad II. Almería also advanced past Castellonense in the first round of the Copa del Rey after extra time.

Miguel de la Fuente has seven goals and one assist in La Liga 2, making him a major source of Almería's attacking threat. Sergio Arribas has also found form: he recorded three goals and two assists in October and has contributed to a goal in four consecutive matches. Almería have led at half-time in each of their last three league games and each of their last three away league matches, underlining their ability to make an early impact.

Girona vs Almería Match Analysis

There is little separation between the teams' scoring rates. Girona's five-match average of 2.0 goals is matched by Almería's, although the home side have conceded fewer over that same span. Across the league season, Almería hold the narrower defensive average, at 0.8 goals conceded per game compared with Girona's 0.9. Those figures suggest a competitive meeting rather than a straightforward advantage for either side.

The individual attacking records add to the interest. Girona can point to five goals apiece from Vanat and Asprilla, while Almería have seven league goals from Miguel de la Fuente and a recent run of goal contributions from Arribas. Both sides also have a record of taking leads before half-time, so neither will want to spend the opening stages simply reacting to the other.

The most recent head-to-head meeting finished 0-0 on January 14, 2024, a reminder that attacking records do not guarantee goals in a particular fixture. Girona's head-to-head summary against Almería stands at three wins, one draw and one defeat, with averages of 2.8 goals scored and 1.4 conceded. This time, Girona's response to their latest defeat meets an Almería side that has avoided defeat in its last five; the strength of both attacks makes chances at either end a credible feature of the match.
