ℹ️
Team News: Girona FC
There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Girona FC boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned with thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) misses out.
It seems likely that Blanquivermells will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 formation in the match, handing starts to Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martínez, David Lopez, Ladislav Krejčí, Daley Blind, Yangel Herrera, Arthur, I. Martín Núñez, Viktor Tsygankov, Cristhian Stuani and Portu.

Team News: Villarreal
In an otherwise healthy group of players, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Villarreal gaffer Marcelino García Toral to be concerned about. Ilias Akhomach (Cruciate ligament injury) misses out for this game.
It’s our belief that El Submarino Amarillo might begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, starting Luiz Júnior, Pau Navarro, Juan Foyth, Logan Costa, Sergi Cardona, Nicolas Pepe, Daniel Parejo, Santi Comesaña, Alejandro Baena, Thierno Barry and Ayoze Perez.

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.
