Girona FC

LLLDWL

After being beaten in their last game against Villarreal in La Liga action, Girona FC and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that game, Girona FC managed 55% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target. On the other side, Villarreal had 14 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Karl Etta Eyong (89') scored for Villarreal.

It is worth noting that Girona FC have suffered from a shortage of goals in their past six encounters, netting the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, Blanquivermells have also seen the overall goal tally of opposing teams equal 7. It will be interesting to find out if that trend will end up being continued on into this next match.

🗞️ Team News: Real Valladolid

We are thinking that Pucela could go for a 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Andre Ferreira, Antonio Candela, Eray Coemert, Cenk Ozkacar, Adam Aznou, Tamas Nikitscher, Selim Amallah, Ivan Sanchez, Chuki, Raul Moro and Mamadou Sylla.

🗞️ Team News: Girona FC

Thanks to a mainly full-strength squad, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Girona FC gaffer Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) won’t be in action.

We’re of the thinking that Blanquivermells appear most likely to make use of a 4-3-3 lineup, starting the game with Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, David Lopez, Juanpe, Daley Blind, Ivan Martin, Oriol Romeu, Arthur, Viktor Tsigankov, Bojan Miovski and Cristian Portu.

💭 Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Real Valladolid must be fancied to put one past this Girona FC lineup, although just one goal might not quite be as many as they’ll concede.

We are therefore anticipating a 1-2 victory for Girona FC at the end of the 90 minutes. Expecting it to be very competitive.
