Girona-Maiorca is a match of the thirty-third day of La Liga and is played on Thursday at 7:30 pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Girona is no longer going to set limits for itself. It reaffirmed this strongly in its last two matches with Real Madrid and Sevilla, both swept away 4-2 and 2-0 respectively. The terrible newcomer coached by Michel in these last matches of the season is not looking anyone in the face and after putting salvation, which was the main goal of the season, in their pocket, they are now dreaming of a place in Europe, nothing but science fiction until a few months ago.
The unexpected success last weekend in Andalusia legitimizes the continental ambitions of the Catalans, who have joined Osasuna on 44 points and are -3 behind seventh-placed Athletic Bilbao. Only three lengths separate the red and whites from the placing that could mean Conference League qualification at the end of the season if, as is likely, Real Madrid win the King’s Cup. Far from appeasement, in short. And in this midweek round Girona also has a huge opportunity: it will face a Mallorca side that now has little to ask of this tournament, while a few hours later Athletic Bilbao and Betis, the two teams ahead of Michel’s men, will take points off each other in a fiery direct clash for the European cups.
The Balearic club has three points less than Girona but, along the lines of the Catalans, has no intention of pulling the reins in the boat. Europe does not seem within the reach of Muriqi and his teammates but Javier Aguirre’s team of going on “vacation” early just does not want to know and that is why it has lost only one game in the last six. Last Monday it stopped Bilbao itself (1-1), which avoided defeat only in full recovery.
Muriqi
The Prediction
The Girona will take advantage of the great euphoria from their two resounding victories against Real Madrid and Sevilla to get their hands on yet another home success: in front of their own public, the Catalans have the sixth best performance in La Liga with nine wins, including draws and four defeats. Mallorca, moreover, is less formidable away and in Catalonia will have to do without two important pawns like Maffeo and Raillo, both disqualified.
The probable formations of Girona-Maiorca
- GIRONA (4-3-3): Gazzaniga; Arnau, Juanpe, Bueno, Hernández; Romeu, Tsygankov, Martín; Couto, Riquelme, Castellanos.
- MAIORCA (5-3-2): Rajkovic; Sánchez, Valjent, Hadzikadunic, Copete, Costa; Morlanes, De Galarreta, Lee; Rodríguez, Muriqi.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
