Girona, which leads La Liga, will be looking to get back to winning ways as they resume their league campaign on Sunday night at home against a struggling Sevilla team

(Football news) Last weekend, Sevilla lost their final game in the top flight of Spain, 3-2, at home to Alaves, while Girona was shockingly held to a goalless draw by Almeria, a team in the bottom. Girona was unable to capitalize on Real Madrid and Barcelona’s attendance at the Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, as bottom-of-the-table Almeria held Michel’s team to a goalless draw last weekend.

But the point was sufficient to propel them above Real Madrid to the top of the division. The Catalan team has been one of the biggest stories in European football this season, amassing 49 points from 20 games with a record of 15 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss.

After defeating Rayo Vallecano 3-1 in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday night to advance to the competition’s quarterfinals, Girona will come into this game on the heels of victory.

Encountering Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, and Athletic Bilbao in their first three league games of February, the White and Reds—who are only in their fourth campaign at this level—will be interesting to watch in about a month’s time as they look to climb the ladder.

Sevilla, who have only won once away from home in the league this year, will be the opponent for Girona, who have the fourth-best home record in La Liga after winning 25 points from their ten games.

Sevilla won their Copa del Rey encounter on Tuesday night, beating Getafe 3-1 to advance to the quarterfinals. They will be coming into this game high on confidence.

They have lost their previous three league games against Atletico Madrid, Athletic Bilbao, and Alaves, so there is no denying that the team has had an incredibly poor season. It is reasonable to argue that at this point in the season, Quique Sanchez Flores’ team, with 16 points, is in a relegation battle with Cadiz, who are in 18th place.
