Fixture Analysis
Girona welcome Alaves to Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in La Liga (matchday 17). Kick-off is Monday 18 December 2023 at 20:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Girona stand at 8W 1D 1L — 2.50 PPG. Last five: W W D W W. They are averaging 2.20 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Girona's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 1D 3L (1.90 PPG). They are averaging 2.00 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 1.90 lags behind their overall 2.50 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.
Across their last 10 games, Alaves have recorded 2W 4D 4L — 1.00 PPG. Last five: W L W D L. Their scoring rate of 0.90 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
When travelling, Alaves have posted 0W 3D 5L from their last 8 away outings — 0.38 PPG. Away from home they average 0.50 goals scored and 1.25 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.38 is notably below their overall 1.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
Girona carry the stronger recent momentum — 1.50 PPG ahead of their opponents on 2.50 vs 1.00. The form data is a point in their favour, and where the price allows, it is the cleaner directional bet.
In-Play Profile
Girona in-play tendencies (last 16 games, 8 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 50% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (home games).
Alaves in-play tendencies (last 16 games, 8 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games (away games); they fail to score in 44% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Girona 69% versus Alaves 44%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Girona 69% | Alaves 25%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Girona 1.80 xG and Alaves 0.83 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Girona attack 1.271 / defence 1.097 | Alaves attack 0.686 / defence 1.013. League average goals — home 1.396 / away 1.098. Girona carry an above-average attack rating of 1.271 — their 1.80 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Alaves's attack rating of 0.686 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 0.83. Data: built from Girona's last 54 games and Alaves's last 16.
Result probabilities: Girona 58% | Draw 28% | Alaves 14%. Fair-value odds: Girona 1.73 | Draw 3.59 | Alaves 6.99. The model has a clear lean to Girona (58%) — a 30pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 49% | Total xG 2.62. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.62 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS No at 51% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Girona are the pick at 58% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 28% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.62 combined xG gives a 51% probability to Under 2.5 — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Girona 60% (last 10 home games) | Alaves 50% (last 8 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Girona beat Alaves 3-0 at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, Regular Season - 17, in the La Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Girona 1.80 xG and Alaves 0.83 xG, a combined 2.62. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Girona beat their projection by 1.2 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Alaves landed 0.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Girona attack 1.27 / defence 1.10 against Alaves attack 0.69 / defence 1.01, drawn from 54/16 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Girona 58% | Draw 28% | Alaves 14%, with Girona to win its most likely call at 58%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Girona 69%, Alaves 25%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Girona's trading profile (16 games, 8 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.
Alaves's trading profile (16 games, 8 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 44% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Girona arrived the stronger side — 2.56 PPG against 1.00. That form edge translated into the three points. Girona (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.25 average — tighter than their form line. Alaves (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.25 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
