Latest football commentary Girona vs Espanyol
Girona had a difficult start to the 2025-26 La Liga season, losing three consecutive defeats to Rayo Vallecano, Villarreal and Sevilla, conceding 10 goals. They then drew 1-1 with Celta Vigo on September 14.
The Catalan team continued to receive shock when losing 0-4 to Levante on September 20, but managed to bring back a positive result when holding Athletic Bilbao 1-1 on Tuesday night.
However, this is still a very disappointing start for coach Michel and his team, with only 2 points after 6 matches and sitting at the bottom of the table. Girona finished 16th last season, a year after they impressed with a 3rd place finish in 2023-24. All signs point to another challenging season for the “White and Reds”, a team that has only met Espanyol 12 times in their history.
In those 12 encounters, Girona won 6, lost 3 and drew 3. The most recent encounter in the second half of the 2024-25 season saw the two teams share points with a score of 1-1.
Espanyol have not beaten Girona since April 2019, but their last two victories against their Catalan rivals have both come away from home, including a La Liga win in April 2018.
Last season, the “White and Blues” ranked only 14th, 2 points above the relegation zone, so they really need to improve in the 2025-26 season.
Espanyol started impressively, taking 10 points from their first four games, beating Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, Mallorca and drawing with Real Sociedad. However, they suffered their first defeat on 20 September when they lost 2-0 to Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, then drew 2-2 with Valencia on Tuesday.
With 11 points after 6 rounds, Espanyol is currently ranked 4th on the rankings and is also the team tied for fourth in terms of goals scored in La Liga (10 goals).
