Girona vs Levante | Football Previews & Free Betting Tips | 20th September 2025

🗞️ Introduction

Girona face Levante at Montilivi on 20 September in what feels like an early-season test of resilience for both sides. Girona have found life tough in their opening fixtures, conceding heavily and struggling to find fluency in attack. Levante, back in the top flight after their promotion push, have looked more stable and will view this as an opportunity to build momentum. The home crowd will expect a reaction, while Levante’s away support should make themselves heard in what promises to be a lively contest. Tactically, Girona will likely stick to a high-risk style that leaves gaps at the back, while Levante focus on compact defending and quick counters.

🔑 Tactical Trends

Girona’s numbers suggest vulnerability when pressed, with an average of nearly three goals conceded per game so far. Their open approach leaves their back line stretched, especially against sides willing to transition quickly. Levante, meanwhile, are more conservative, averaging one goal scored and one conceded per match. They’re built on a low defensive block and tend to slow games down, reflected in their relatively low goal totals and steady accumulation of draws.

📋 Form

Across their last 10 competitive matches, Girona have 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 23. The big wins at the back end of last season boosted those numbers, but this campaign has started with a flat 0.25 points per game and no clean sheets in four attempts. Levante’s last 10 shows 3 wins, 6 draws, and 1 defeat, with 14 scored and 11 conceded. Their 1.0 points per game in the current campaign shows resilience if not attacking flair. Overall, Girona’s trend points to defensive instability, while Levante’s profile is one of grind and narrow margins.

🏟️ Home vs Away Form

Girona’s recent home record is inconsistent, with heavy defeats mixed with the occasional big win last season. Their defensive frailty at Montilivi has been exposed early this term. Levante’s away record across their last 10 competitive matches shows a steady mix of draws and tight wins, with clean sheets forming the foundation. They’ve carried their Segunda Division resilience into La Liga and will approach this test with confidence.

Girona’s expected goals profile underlines their lack of cutting edge and defensive fragility, while Levante’s xG shows they create marginally more but concede nearly two per game. It points to Girona needing a sharper edge to match Levante’s steady output.

⚖️ Head-to-Head

The last five meetings between Girona and Levante have been fairly balanced, with two draws and a couple of Girona wins mixed in. Their most recent clash came in early 2023 when Girona edged a high-scoring game. Levante’s last trip to Montilivi ended level, highlighting that this fixture often produces competitive, tight outcomes.

🧠 KickTheBookies Prediction

Girona’s defensive struggles are hard to ignore, while Levante’s cautious style is designed to frustrate. With both sides lacking a cutting edge, a low-scoring draw looks the most likely outcome. Prediction: 1–1 draw.

💡 Betting Tips

Main Pick: Draw — Levante’s steady defensive record and Girona’s struggles make this a plausible outcome at value.

Alternative Value: Under 2.5 goals — both sides have shown limitations going forward and could cancel each other out.
