Girona FC are living in their dream and repeatedly upsetting the odds in the La Liga. They got promoted to La Liga in 2017, but two years later, they became relegated. However, they are back in La Liga this season and now have become one of the favorites for the league title.
Girona have already defeated teams like Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, FC Barcelona and many more this season. For a certain time, they were at the top of the league table. However, two draws in their last five league games left them out of the top as Real Madrid are now leading the point table with 57 points – only two points ahead of Girona.
Girona FC are back in action in La Liga when they host Real Sociedad tonight at Montilivi Stadium. A win over Real Sociedad would see them back at the top. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad are fighting to enter the top four. They are currently at 6th and will aim to defeat Girona to get closer to the top four.

Girona are flying in the league and they are dreaming for the league title. As they are only two points behind the table topper, this match is a great opportunity to regain the top spot. However, Girona have been inconsistent in their last three games. Despite scoring five goals against Sevilla, they lost to Mallorca the following week.
However, Girona can hurt any team, and they already proved it. Therefore, we expect Girona to win this match and go to the top of the table.
