Almeria vs Girona: Can Girona Impress Again?

La Liga, Girona is absolutely excelling and now the city stands second. This week, they played and won a game in the Copa del Rey by which they scored 2-0. They plan to perform as well in their upcoming game.

However, Almeria does not have a good season. They lie at the foot of the table and failed to fulfill promises. They lost narrowly to Osasuna in their last game and will need to deliver much more this weekend.

Team News: Almeria vs Girona

If Girona do not lose to Almeria in Sunday’s match at Power Horse Stadium, then they can become the best club in La Liga.

At this point, Girona is ranked second in the league, equal on points to Real Madrid. However, in the league table Almeria is at the very bottom and hasn’t won any game this season yet.

This game may not be easy for Girona, and we would not be really astonished if it ended in a draw between Almeria on Sunday. Nevertheless, Girona has been on a winning streak in recent matches, therefore we predict them to claim an important victory during this match.

Almeria will be without Idrissu Baba due to being on international duty, but otherwise they should field their strongest side. Both Gonzalo Melero and Luis Suarez, starting players who are still recovering from injuries, will not play for a few more weeks because they haven’t recovered yet.

On the side of Girona, Viktor Tsygankov is injured and will not be able to participate in this match. Meanwhile, Valery Fernandez, who netted in Girona's most recent 4-3 win against Atletico, will feature on the left side of midfield. The placement of Pablo Torre in midfield should be upheld. Artem Dovbyk, who was named the La Liga Player of the Month for December, is on fire and should spearhead the Girona attack.
