🗞️ Team News: Girona FC

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Girona FC gaffer Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with from a near full-strength squad. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) will miss out.

We think that Blanquivermells may well go for a 4-3-3 system for this one with Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, David Lopez, Ladislav Krejci, Daley Blind, Ivan Martin, Oriol Romeu, Yangel Herrera, Viktor Tsigankov, Arnaut Danjuma and Yaser Asprilla.

📰 Team News: Real Betis

Real Betis manager Manuel Pellegrini has not got a full squad to pick from. Marc Roca (Foot injury) and Diego Llorente (Hamstring injury) will not be playing here.

From our viewpoint, Béticos seem most likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, giving starts to Adrian, Aitor Ruibal, Marc Bartra, Natan, Romain Perraud, Johnny Cardoso, Pablo Fornals, Antony, Isco, Jesus Rodriguez and Juan Hernandez.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Real Betis and Girona FC could both well score here although it’s hard to see a clear-cut winner.

Let’s see how it plays out, but a draw is looking likely to us. With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline when the referee blows the full-time whistle.
