📋 Team News: Girona FC

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just one fitness concern for the Girona FC gaffer Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned about from an otherwise fully-primed set of players. Viktor Tsygankov (unknown injury) is sidelined.

It looks as if Blanquivermells should go for a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game, handing starts to Paulo Gazzaniga, Alejandro Frances, David Lopez, Ladislav Krejci, Miguel Gutierrez, Ivan Martin, Yangel Herrera, Bryan Gil, Yaser Asprilla, Arnaut Danjuma and Abel Ruiz.

📰 Team News: Athletic Bilbao

We reckon that Los Leones appear most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation using Alex Padilla, Oscar de Marcos, Daniel Vivian, Aitor Paredes, Yuri Berchiche, I. Ruiz de, Mikel Jauregizar, Inaki Williams, Oihan Sancet, Nico Williams and Gorka Guruzeta.

✨ Prediction

We think that Athletic Bilbao will need to push hard to breach the defence of this Girona FC side who we reckon will do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore seeing a 1-0 victory for Girona FC when the full-time whistle blows.
