Girona-Villarreal is a match of the 36th day of La Liga and is played on Tuesday at 10 p.m.: odds, predictions, live TV and streaming.
Girona on Friday missed a chance to stretch over Barcelona and mortgage that second place that would allow the Catalans to play in the next Final Four of the Spanish Super Cup.
In full recovery Michel’s men were caught up by Alaves (2-2), seeing what would have been their fourth consecutive victory slip away. The red and white remained at +2 on their cousins, who at the time of writing have not yet faced Real Sociedad in the postponement of the 35th day of the championship. Should Barça get the better of the Basques they would counter-surpass Girona, who are engaged in the last midweek fixture at the Montilivi Stadium against Villarreal. However it turns out (second or third place) this will remain a historic and hard to forget season for the small Catalan club, capable of achieving a goal such as Champions League qualification, which at the beginning of the year seemed like science fiction. Instead, the Yellow Submarine, momentarily ninth and -6 behind Real Sociedad, could stay out of Europe. The mathematics still do not condemn Marcelino’s team, but it is obvious that in the event of a defeat in Girona, hopes would be slim.
Villarreal, however, arrives in Catalonia in high spirits because of the fine victory against Sevilla (3-2), decided by a goal by Norwegian Sorloth in 97′. For the yellows it was the third in the last four days after those with Almeria and Rayo Vallecano (in between the defeat with Celta Vigo).
The prediction
The spectacle should not be lacking in Montilivi. Girona and Villarreal have been fighting for different goals but in ball possession they have both shined: the Catalans of goals have scored 75, three less than champion Real Madrid, but the yellows have not been outdone (59). It would not be a surprise, in short, if they both score in a match that promises to be pyrotechnic.
The probable formations of Girona-Villarreal
GIRONA (4-5-1): Gazzaniga; Eric García, David López, Blind, Miguel; Tsygankov, Iván Martín, Aleix García, Yangel, Savio; Dovbyk.
VILLARREAL (4-4-2): Jörgensen; Femenia, Albiol, Mosquera, Cuenca; Traoré, Parejo, Comesaña, Baena; Sörloth, Guedes.
