Girona lead La Liga in goals, with an incredible 46 in 20 matches, six more goals than second-place Real Madrid. Will our AI prediction suggest Girona will score goals in round No. 21?

On Sunday, Girona will welcome Sevilla to the Estadi Montilivi in La Liga, as manager Michel aims for another positive result.

Girona have lost just once this season, and could shock European football by winning La Liga this term.

However, there is still plenty of football left to play. Just one point separates Girona and Madrid heading into round No. 21.

Sevilla are at the opposite end of the table. Los Rojiblancos are 17th in the standings, having ebbed back toward the relegation zone post-Christmas.

Quique Sanchez Flores became Sevilla’s third manager of the season in December, yet the former Getafe manager has watched his Sevilla team lose its last three games. Indeed, Sevilla lost five of their last six La Liga matches.

Girona have a great record against Sevilla. They won their last four matches in all competitions against Los Rojiblancos.

That record includes a 2-1 victory away to Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium earlier this season.

Yangel Herrera opened the scoring for Girona in the 16th minute, but Sevilla’s Nemanja Gudelj equalised on the stroke of halftime.

Girona went back into the lead for good on 56 minutes thanks to a goal from Aleix Garcia.

Confidence continues to be high amongst Girona’s squad. They won eight of their opening 10 matches at home this season.

Sevilla, on the other hand, have an abysmal away record, with 1W-3D-5L and a goal difference of -2.

Although Sevilla won the Europa League last season, the Spanish side have been on a decline for the past two to three seasons.

Girona will hope to add to their league-leading goalscoring stats on Sunday. Artem Dovbyk leads the team with 11 goals.

Although Sevilla have struggled to get points, they still scored 25 goals in their opening 20 games. It has been Sevilla’s poor defensive record that has cost them points.

Los Rojiblancos allowed 35 goals to their opponents. It is the third-most goals conceded in La Liga this term.

Girona won their last four games against Sevilla and our AI prediction is for another win for the club. Los Blanquivermells should tally 2-1 home win and add to their goalscoring statistics. Dovbyk is good value to add to his goal record.
