🗞️ Team News: Girona FC

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the Girona FC boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with from of an almost fully healthy group of players. Ibrahima Kébé (Knee Problems) will miss out.

We are thinking that Blanquivermells may well use a 4-1-4-1 formation for this game, utilising Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, Santiago Bueno, David Lopez, Miguel Gutierrez, Oriol Romeu, Viktor Tsigankov, Borja Garcia, Aleix Garcia, Rodrigo Riquelme and Valentin Castellanos.

📋 Team News: Atlético Madrid

Due to a completely injury-free group available for selection, the Atlético Madrid boss Diego Simeone does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this clash.

We are inclined to think that Atleti might make use of a 3-5-2 system by sending out Jan Oblak, Stefan Savic, Jose Gimenez, Mario Hermoso, Nahuel Molina, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Thomas Lemar, Yannick Carrasco, Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Girona FC will have to work hard as a team to be putting a goal past this Atlético Madrid team who we think might emerge victorious.

We therefore fancy a highly competitive game with a 0-1 victory for Atlético Madrid at full-time.

Should be an interesting one.
