Girona have been in fine form so far but they will only be one of the candidates for 4th place and a dark horse club this season with their excellent form in the 9 games they have played so far.
They are a surprise but consistency is a very big problem and will definitely be difficult for Girona to overcome even though they are still playing very well but I am not sure this will last until the end.
As for the title race, Atletico this season can still compete unlike the previous season, but on the other hand, the priority will not be different from before where Madrid and Barcelona are the strongest candidates.
I was never expecting to see Girona at this level and race with Real Madrid and Barcelona, still, I'm staying to find the reason for this good performance from Girona. As far as I know, La Liga they could never be on top of the table and I think time after time they will lose their place.
The next game for Girona in La Liga is against Almeria which is a good opportunity to take more risks and even bet on Almeria for more rewards they can give because Almeria is not a weak team too.
Actually if you look at Girona at the moment it is not far from the performance of Betis last season where they were also quite surprising at the start of the season but slowly they lost their balance and in the end the conditions remained the same they were only in the Europa League. Girona will also not be much different even if they try their best now but their condition will only be a dark horse and be in the Europa League zone at best in the Champions League position 4. But to be in the championship zone and compete until the end will be very difficult for them.
The next week against Almeria will not be too difficult and indeed with their current performance it is possible for them to bring 3 points but there could be a surprise from Almeria.
Girona has appeared amazing since the start of the season and has been able to appear confident when facing matches in La Liga during these 9 matches.
However, we don't yet know to what extent Girona will be able to maintain its strength until the end of the season to be able to stay in the top 4 positions in La Liga because we all can not be sure of that.
but it look like Girona will try their best to stay in the top 5 alongside elite clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid.
and the match against Almeria will certainly be a match that is not quite difficult if you look at Girona current performance, Almeria has performed very badly so far this season, only winning 3 points from a draw.
I think Girona will be able to beat Almeria easily, especially since Girona advantage is playing at home.
