Girona vs Liverpool Match Analysis & Prediction
10/12/2024 8:45 pm
Refreshed and raring to go after a weather-enforced domestic postponement, Liverpool seek a sixth win from six in the 2024-25 Champions League when they travel to face La Liga upstarts Girona on Tuesday night.
Arne Slot’s side saw their proposed Merseyside derby with Everton called off at the weekend as 90mph+ winds battered British shores, while their hosts were comprehensively beaten by Real Madrid in La Liga.
Liverpool could have done with a domestic breather in the wake of their engrossing 3-3 draw with Newcastle United at St James’ Park, a result that halted their seven-game winning run across all competitions but kept Slot unbeaten away from home since he took charge.
Looking at that draw from a positive perspective, the Reds have now scored multiple goals in each of their last nine games across all competitions, a run that includes their merited 2-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid on matchday five, which extended their 100% start to the revamped tournament.
Two points clear at the top of the 36-team table and already assured of a playoff spot at the very least, Liverpool now endeavour to continue an Iberian resurgence, the Reds have won each of their last two Champions League games away to Spanish clubs after failing to prevail in any of the previous eight.
With crucial cornerstones such as Artem Dovbyk, Savinho, Eric Garcia, Yan Couto and Aleix Garcia all jumping ship, Michel’s new-look team have posted an indifferent set of results in the top flight, taking 22 points from 16 matches to occupy eighth position in the standings.
Girona have also been given some harsh reality checks on their first-ever Champions League campaign, as while they strolled to a 2-0 victory over Slovan Bratislava on matchday three, they have been beaten by Paris Saint-Germain, PSV Eindhoven, Feyenoord and most recetly Sturm Graz.
Their 30th-placed standings would sent them crashing out at the first hurdle, and Girona do not welcome Liverpool to their headquarters in tip-top shape – they suffered a 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday after being eliminated from the Copa del Rey by lower-tier UD Logrones on penalties.
