Football Results

Both teams are positioned in the upper half of table; it was expected that Celta will be there, while Girona is a pleasant surprise this season. Celta has one point more and after three rounds in which it won no one it managed to win last weekend at home, while Girona plays in win-lose rhythm, wins at home and loses away. In previous round Girona was suffered a debacle at the Camp Nou but it drew with Celta 3-3 in Vigo in the first part of season.

Girona

Overall, Girona has definitely fulfilled its plan for this season and certainly it didn’t expect to play this good in its debut season in the La Liga. Most recently Girona plays well only at home where it won four matches in a row and with a clean sheet, where triumph over Las Palmas of 6-0 stands out. After that Girona won Athletic Bilbao and Leganes, however, it didn’t win away for a very long time, or more precisely since mid-December last year when it won Espanyol 1-0.

It drew with Atletic in Madrid, while Sevilla won by minimal goal difference, however in previous round it couldn’t parry to Barcelona at the Camp Nou and lost by 6-1. Interestingly enough, Girona took the lead at the very beginning of match but after that it felt apart. The team was changed a bit and Stuani, the first scorer of the team, was left on the bench but now we expect to see him in on the pitch from the first minute.

Probable lineups FC Girona: Bono – Espinosa, Juanpe, Ramalho – Maffeo, Pons, Granell, Mojica – Borja, Portu, Stuani

Celta Vigo

After three rounds without victory Celta managed to win in previous one. Its opponent was Eibar; Celta was unable to break its resistance in the first halftime but it scored two goals in the second, which was enough to win. They played much better than two rounds ago when they faced Getafe and lost by sound 4-0. It was the third match in a row which they didn’t win but before the negative series they had five-game unbeaten streak.

They hope in Vigo that victory over Eibear is beginning of new positive series, and it is good that manager Unzue doesn’t have too many problems with injuries or suspensions of his players. After debacle in Getafe stopper Roncaglia was left on the bench and Cabral played instead, who earned the fifth yellow card in the match and cannot play now. That means Roncaglia is back in the starting line-up, just like Radoja who will replace Hernandez in the midfield, while on the list of injured players is still only stopper Fontas.

Probable lineups Celta Vigo: Ruben – Hugo Mallo, Roncaglia, S,Gomez, Jonny Castro – Wass, Radoja, Lobotka, Sisto – Maxi Gomez, Iago Aspas

Verdict:

Girona plays well at home where it didn’t lose for very long time, and we believe that can at least pull a draw from this match given that Celta doesn’t play particularly well away matches recently.
