🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just a single fitness concern for the Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil to be concerned about from a near full-strength squad. Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle injury) is out of contention.

It looks as if Txuri-urdin will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system this time and select Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Jon Martin, Javi Lopez, Martin Zubimendi, Pablo Marin, Takefusa Kubo, Brais Mendez, Ander Barrenetxea and Mikel Oyarzabal.

📋 Team News: Girona FC

From a largely full-strength group, there is only a single fitness issue for the Girona FC manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Blanquivermells seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup, choosing Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martinez, Juanpe, David Lopez, Daley Blind, Oriol Romeu, Arthur, Viktor Tsigankov, Cristian Portu, Yaser Asprilla and Abel Ruiz.

⚡ Prediction

Looking at these two teams, we feel that Girona FC could find themselves struggling to get anything against this Real Sociedad team who we reckon will just have the edge.

We therefore fancy a 1-0 advantage for Real Sociedad when all is said and done.

A close call.
