Roberto Morales, a well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator, shared his expectations from today's Spanish league match between Girona and Osasuna.
- "Now Girona must think about staying in the top four, although they have recently been fighting for the first position. However, it should not be forgotten that Girona has not lost in ten consecutive matches this season at their home Montiel - 8 wins and 2 draws after a 0-3 defeat to Real Madrid.
The small Catalans' combination football with a focus on attack can fail, as the previous round clearly demonstrated - Mallorca, tired of cup competitions, beat Michel Sanchez's men 1-0 at home. However, this cannot be called a crisis for Girona. But people are getting used to their football, and they've lost their courage. On the other hand, the strengths of their game remain and should produce results, even if not in every match. The team's fans are eagerly awaiting the return of Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk's scoring inspiration.
"Osasuna is not one of those teams that change seriously. The team's main strategy is disciplined defence with quick transitions to attack. The players of the Navarre club are famous for their resilience and endurance, which allows them to maintain concentration throughout the match and use minimal chances to achieve maximum results. My bet is that the hosts will not lose and the total is less than 3.5," Morales said.
