Girona-Real Sociedad is a match valid for the twenty-third day of La Liga and is played Saturday at 9 p.m.: TV, lineups and predictions
Real Madrid won the rematch and now Girona finds itself second in the standings. Here it is, perhaps this is the toughest (unbelievable to say that) moment of their own season. Indeed, Michel’s men must have the strength, in order to continue dreaming, to stay hooked on that team that knows how to handle these kinds of moments. Which, on the other hand, the hosts really do not know. In short, there will be to sweat, to see if there are the margins to stay there, in contact to Ancelotti’s troop, to maybe who knows win La Liga. That would be a historic achievement.
Alguacil’s Real Sociedad is not an easy formation to face. The guests are doing well (4 useful results in a row) however, they will soon be playing in the Champions League. A little thought might be there although it would be better to be focused only on the league, as Sociedad is now in sixth place in the standings and sees a new qualification to Europe’s top competition from afar. Actually, it is at risk as of today, since Betis is pushing behind and fifth-placed Bilbao is already six points away. Will it be enough to pull off a positive result on a really difficult pitch this year? We doubt it.
Until now Girona has always responded present in difficult moments by going on to win even on really tough fields. And at home this season it has lost only once to Real Madrid. Yes, a draw has also come, but then always only victories. That should be the case on Saturday night as well.
The prediction
In a match of at least one goal per team Girona should be able to take yet another home win of their season.
