Match Overview
The third round of the Spanish La Liga competition will witness a brilliant game between Sevilla and Girona at the Estadio R. Sanchez Pizjuan on 26 August, Saturday. While Sevilla are ranked in the 18th position of the league table at the time of writing with no points to their name, Girona are perched upon the fourth position of the same standings.
Key Highlights
It is still early days in the season and one need not take the league table into account too much. Girona will feel that they will have to play out of their skins in order to trouble Sevilla in this game. However, the home team have a strong and cohesive defensive unit that will not be challenged unless and until it is really put under the scanner.
Injury Report
Tanguy Nianzou and Marcao are the only players who will be missing in action for Sevilla. Girona, on the other hand, have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Toni Villa, Santiago Bueno, Joel Roca and others.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this match. Sevilla, who are ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2 goals), have also lost their last three matches. They are not quite going through a purple patch, and this opens a window of opportunity for Girona to take their chance and try to get on the scoresheet as well as take as many points as they can.
