Latest football commentary Villarreal vs Girona
Villarreal finished 5th in La Liga last season with 70 points after 38 rounds, equal with Athletic Bilbao (4th), thereby winning a ticket to the Champions League group stage this season.
The Yellow Submarine continue to aim to compete directly with Bilbao for a top-four spot, and they started the 2025-26 season perfectly with a 2-0 win over Real Oviedo on August 15, with goals from Karl Etta Eyong and Pape Gueye.
Villarreal were quite active in the summer transfer market when they brought in Renato Veiga from Chelsea – the most expensive contract. In addition, they also brought in Alberto Moleiro, Santiago Mourino, Tajon Buchanan, Rafa Marin and Thomas Partey to increase the squad depth.
Last season, Villarreal lost only 3 home games but drew 7, and that is an area that needs to be improved if they want to finish in the top 4. Against Girona, Villarreal won 11 of their last 17 matches in all competitions, including a 1-0 victory in May 2025.
Meanwhile, Girona opened the season with a 3-1 home defeat to Rayo Vallecano. They were 3 goals down in the first half, with Joel Roca only managing to pull one back in the second half.
Girona finished 16th last season – a huge drop from 2023-24, when they shocked the league with a third-place finish and made their first Champions League appearance. While European success is unlikely to be sustained, their fifth consecutive season in La Liga is still considered a success.
The Catalan club focused on quality over quantity in the transfer window, signing four new players: Hugo Rincon, Axel Witsel, Vitor Reis and Thomas Lemar. On the other hand, they lost Miguel Gutierrez – who moved to Napoli – which was a big loss given the important role the defender played in recent seasons.
