🗞️ Team News: Girona FC
Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Girona FC gaffer Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with from an otherwise complete group. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) will miss out.
It seems likely that Blanquivermells may well make use of the 4-3-3 formation, handing starts to Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, David Lopez, Ladislav Krejci, Daley Blind, Ivan Martin, Arthur, Yangel Herrera, Viktor Tsigankov, Cristhian Stuani and Cristian Portu.
📰 Team News: Villarreal
Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s only the sole fitness problem for the Villarreal manager Marcelino García Toral to be concerned with. Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) won’t be playing here.
We are inclined to think that El Submarino Amarillo seem likely to elect for a 4-4-2 system, starting the game with Luiz Junior, Pau Navarro, Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Sergi Cardona, Yeremi Pino, Santi Comesana, Pape Gueye, Alejandro Baena, Nicolas Pepe and Ayoze Perez.
✨ Prediction
We believe that Girona FC should be able to find the back of the net against this Villarreal team, although one goal is unlikely to be enough.
We’re going for a 1-2 win for Villarreal when all is said and done. Let’s just see how this one goes.
