Girona vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting tips
The Spanish title fight seems already decided, but the battle for European football is still completely open. The encounter between Girona and Celta de Vigo in Montilivi is very interesting in that respect, as both teams are in the race for a ticket for the Europa League.
Girona :
With ninth place in the ranking, La Liga-debutant Girona is one of the revelations of this season, but last weekend the Catalans were completely out of the question in the 6-1 lost regional derby against FC Barcelona in the Camp Nou. Only bright spot was attacker Cristian Portu, who with his early goal managed to save the honor for the red-wits.
The attacker knew this season against the full Spanish top four to score. Nevertheless, coach Pablo Machin was disappointed in the performance of his team: “I had hoped that we would be more brave and would have been better off.”
Girona had an off-day last Saturday, but that does not mean that the Catalans are busy with a fantastic season. Especially the results in our own Montilivi are very impressive. Girona not only won her last four home matches, the red-wits managed to keep the zero in their own home four times in a row. In terms of goal production, the attacking couple Cristian Portu and Christian Stuani obviously play a leading role again. Stuani in particular feels like a fish in the water on his own field, as the Uruguayan has already scored eight home matches in a row in La Liga. However, Stuani praises the team spirit at Girona: ‘Our secret? We have a clear vision of football and are not afraid of anyone. ‘
Celta Vigo:
Celta de Vigo initially seemed to be working on an anonymous season in the middle, but thanks to a nice series, the Galicians may suddenly hope for European football again. As long as FC Barcelona manages to win the Copa del Rey, the current seventh place is also entitled to a ticket for the Europa League.
Last Saturday, Celta de Vigo recorded an important 2-0 victory against direct competitor Eibar at home. The blue shirts played a lame first half, but came out of the locker room after the tea as reborn. Thanks to goals from Iago Aspas and Emre Mor, the three points remained in the Balaidos.
In addition, goalkeeper Ruben Blanco finally managed to keep his goal clean. With no less than 37 opponents in 25 rounds, the rearguard is the problem child of coach Juan Carlos Unzue all season. Last weekend, however, the Galicians were well off in the first half, and they were lucky that the Eibar vanguard did not have a sharp edge. On Tuesday evenings, Unzue has to get back into the defense, because with Andreu Fontas (injured) and Gustavo Cabral (suspended) he misses two center defenders. Sergi Gomez and Facundo Roncaglia will therefore form the central defense duo in and against Girona.
