Girona v Elche Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Just two years ago Girona were La Liga's surprise package, securing an historic third-place finish and qualification for the UEFA Champions League.

Now, Michel's side go into their final game of the 2025/26 campaign knowing anything but a win over Elche will result in relegation to the Segunda Division.

Elche, too, are desperate to beat the drop. They are two points above their hosts, one of three teams on 42 points along with Levante and Osasuna, so a draw would be enough to preserve their La Liga status for another season.

Girona v Elche Tips Summary

Best Bet - Draw/Girona - Half Time/Full Time @ 4/1
Alternative Bet - Joel Roca over 1.5 shots on target @ 13/8
Bet Builder - Cristhian Stuani 1+ shots on target, Under 4 goals & Under 8 corners @ 6/1

Girona v Elche Prediction

Best Bet: Draw/Girona - Half Time/Full Time @ 4/1

This is all or nothing for Girona. Two years after finishing third they are staring relegation in the face.

One point from nine at home in recent weeks has done nothing to aid their cause, but they face an Elche side with just a single road win in La Liga from 18 attempts this season.

The Montilivi should provide a fully stoked atmosphere for this relegation showdown and the home side may get inspiration from that to secure the three points they need for survival – nothing else will suffice.

Girona had won three straight La Liga meetings with Elche prior to going down 3-0 in the reverse game in December.

There should be tension in the Catalonian air for this game and a half-time stalemate would not surprise. Indeed, the hosts have scored five of their last six goals after the hour mark.

Elche, meanwhile, have leaked a La Liga-high 18 goals in the final 15 minutes of their games.

Girona can win this but it might take them some time to establish their dominance.

Alternative Bet: Joel Roca over 1.5 shots on target @ 13/8

Joel Roca wears the No.3 shirt at Girona, but the former Barcelona youth product is deployed as a left winger.

His direct running is a key attribute and he could be a real go-to man for the home side here. Roca has managed at least a shot on target in four of his last five games.

In the previous home game, a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad, he hit a game-high eight shots and had nine touches in the opponents' penalty box with two blocked shots.

He has established himself as a starter this season and is taken to get multiple shots on target in this crucial finale.

Girona v Elche Bet Builder Tip

• Cristhian Stuani 1+ shots on target

• Under 4 goals

• Under 8 corners

  Pays 6/1

At the opposite end of the spectrum for the home side is striker Cristhian Stuani, the now 39-year-old Uruguayan.

He has not completed 90 minutes in La Liga this season, but has scored some key goals, including against Rayo Vallecano and Real Sociedad this month. He's likely to get more game time here and the veteran can register a shot on target.

Girona have scored just 20 goals in 18 home games this season and 38 in all, the third-lowest return in La Liga. Elche, meanwhile, have bagged 18 times in their 18 road trips.

None of the previous nine meetings of these clubs have gone over 3.5 goals and that looks a solid proposition again now, with Girona's home games averaging 2.5 per game.

Corners could also be in short supply. Elche average just 3.86 per-game, with Girona weighing in with 4.24.
