A well-known Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales has prepared a forecast for the Spanish championship match between Girona and Athletic.
- A rather interesting match is expected at the Montilla with the participation of teams of two coaches with different game concepts. The small Catalans are not at all impressive this season. Some believe that Girona has turned out to be a typical one-season team. Although this project does have potential, it has not become a top club.
In the summer offseason, the club sold key players such as Dovbyk, Yuri Kouta, Aleix Garcia, and gave away Savinho. The last time the team won was more than a month ago, on September 1. In eight rounds, the Catalans have only two victories. Girona's debut in the Champions League is also problematic. The team lost to PSG (0: 1) and Feyenoord (2: 3). It is not entirely clear how ready they are for a serious game, both physically and psychologically.
Meanwhile, the Basques look good at the start of the season. "The Lions have lost only to Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. And after eight rounds, the guys from Bilbao are in fifth place in the standings. The team started well in the Europa League. In the first round, Athletic drew with Roma (1:1), and in the last match confidently dealt with the Dutch AZ Alkmaar (2:0). The bet is on the visitors' victory," Morales said.
