Maybe we should forget about Girona's current position and apart from that, Girona is actually not a big team, they are just a mediocre team that has managed to climb up with impressive performances this season. So it's only natural that the bookie gives bigger odds for Girona even though the opponent is Almeria. Even if Girona is in the middle of the table, it is possible that the odds will not be much different from their current position. So from the start there was no need to doubt Girona's chances of winning this match and maybe bad luck will still surround Almeria after the international break.
Girona faced Real Madrid and conceded 3 goals against Los Blancos on Estadi Municipal de Montilivi soil. That alone gave disqualified them because if they can't draw or win Real Madrid, it means they would struggle to win other top contenders for the title. Girona is an mediocre team that's attempts to survived this season with exhibition of outstanding performance. Let's say the Gironistes started on the right foot, how able would they survive in the long competitive run for La Liga title, can they hold up till mid-season? Absolutely not because they don't stand a chance to withstand forthcoming oppositions in league games.
