Girona Vs Betis

​Following their advancement to the UEFA Europa Conference League semi-finals, Real Betis are set to refocus on their La Liga campaign as they travel to Montilivi to face Girona on Monday, April 21, 2025. Currently occupying sixth place in the standings, Betis aim to secure a coveted Champions League qualification spot, while Girona, positioned 16th, are striving to distance themselves from the relegation zone.​

Girona's season has taken a challenging turn, with the team failing to secure a victory in their last nine league matches. Their last win dates back to early February against Las Palmas. This slump has left them perilously close to equaling their longest winless streak in the top flight, which stands at 10 matches from the 2018-19 season. Recent defeats, including a 4-1 loss to Barcelona and a narrow 2-1 defeat to Osasuna, have compounded their struggles. With five of their remaining seven matches against top-half teams, Girona faces a daunting task to maintain their La Liga status.​

In contrast, Real Betis approach this fixture with momentum, having secured a historic progression to their first-ever European semi-final after a 1-1 draw against Jagiellonia Bialystok, resulting in a 3-1 aggregate victory. Cedric Bakambu's goal in the second leg marked his seventh in the Conference League this season. Betis also received a boost with La Liga being allocated an additional Champions League spot, enhancing their qualification prospects. However, a recent 2-1 home defeat to Villarreal ended their seven-game unbeaten league run, leaving them three points behind fifth-placed Villarreal. Nonetheless, Betis have the opportunity to extend their unbeaten away streak to four matches and aim to match their best scoring run in the 21st century, having scored in each of their last 12 top-flight games.​

Historically, Betis have dominated this fixture, winning 10 of the 15 encounters between the two sides. Girona's sole victory came in last season's home match, where Cristhian Stuani scored a stoppage-time winner in a 3-2 triumph. As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, Girona will look to veteran players like Stuani and Portu to lead the charge, while Betis will rely on their recent form and attacking prowess to secure a vital win in their quest for European football
