Girona-Granada is a match valid for the thirty-eighth day of La Liga and is played on Friday at 9 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
What is about to end is a season that will forever remain in the memories of every Girona fan. For the Catalans, who before this year had never frequented the upper echelons of the La Liga standings, it was a stratospheric, in some ways unrepeatable (?) year that saw a team whose main objective was initially salvation even finish in the top three, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Of the architects of this masterpiece, there is certainly the coach Michel, but one must obviously also praise the club, which has been good at betting on good players but perhaps with little international appeal – see Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk, who is on a 21-goal league tally – and which it will most likely resell for gold in the coming markets. Girona is fresh off a fine win, their 24th of the season, at home to Valencia (1-3) but second place is now unreachable, as Barcelona’s cousins flew to +4. Michel’s men will settle for third, which is worth in any case participation in the Champions League, an unthinkable goal until recently. The red-and-whites will close in Montilivi against an already long relegated side, Granada. The Andalusians, penultimate, have been pulling the plug for weeks now and in the last round they cashed in their fourth consecutive defeat by surrendering 2-1 to Celta Vigo. And now all that’s left to do is to start planning for next season, planning for an immediate ascent.
The prediction
Girona is eager to end on a high note a historic season in which the Catalans have gone beyond all expectations. Victory should come without major problems in a match of at least three goals total.
