Girona
Liverpool
On December 10, their meeting within the main net of the Champions League, will be held Girona - Liverpool. I offer my betting option for the upcoming battle. Will the Merseysiders continue their victorious march.
Match preview
Girona's debut in the Champions League is expectedly tough, the team plays well, but they are often unlucky. The club has won only one victory and lost four times, because of which it occupies the 30th line in the overall standings, the gap from the playoff zone is three points. In the last round Girona deserved to take points, but let down the realization, as a result they lost away with a score of 0:1.
In the domestic arena, the club is ninth in the standings, although the gap from the top-6 is only two points. In the last round there was a home defeat from Real Madrid with an identical score of 0:3. Also, Girona flew out of the Spanish Cup, sensationally losing to little-known Logroñez in a penalty shootout. The team is difficult to fight on two fronts, although they show good soccer.
Brilliantly conducts the current season Liverpool, the club is leading in the main net of the Champions League, winning all five matches, in the last battle deservedly beat Real Madrid on their field with a score of 2:0.
Everything is good and in the APL, the team goes first in the championship, the gap from the nearest pursuer is 4 points, while there is one game in reserve. In the last round “mersesaidtsy” signed the world away with Newcastle - 3:3. Arne Slot's wards are now on the move, they are hard to stop, although I admit that Liverpool will have a rotation of the squad in the upcoming battle.
It will not be superfluous to remember that previously the clubs have never played each other, which is not surprising, given the debut of Girona in this tournament.
Prediction
Bookmakers consider Liverpool the favorite of this pair, and the odds on the success of the guests are falling rapidly, now it is 1.48. Even a draw in such a match will be regarded as a sensation, the approximate odds are 5. A productive battle is expected, the total of more than 2.5 goals is estimated at 1.56. I will bet here on the success of the guests with a -1 goal.
