The key matchup to watch here is Girona's midfield trying to contain Villarreal's attacking threats, especially Gerard Moreno. Girona has been a surprise package this season, but their recent form is a concern, with only one win in their last five league matches, a 2-0 victory over Elche. Villarreal, on the other hand, has been flying, winning four of their last five, including a dominant 3-0 performance against Osasuna. The Yellow Submarine's home form at La Ceramica is particularly strong, making this a tough ask for the visitors.
Villarreal takes this one comfortably. Villarreal 3 - Girona 1.
