Our prediction for the match Girona vs Feyenoord
“The Girondins” were great last season. A year ago, they were in the lead and held on to 1st place for quite a long time. And even, having eventually let Real and Barcelona overcome them, the team still finished sensationally high, in 3rd position. As for “the Pride of the South”, 2023/2024 was an unfortunate time: the team started with a defeat made by PSV in the Super Cup and also lost to this opponent in the race to retain 1st place in the Eredivisie.
It is reasonable to mention that Arne Slot left Rotterdam in the summer – the specialist was taken to Liverpool as a successor to Klopp. The squad was also actively changed, which is typical for the Dutch, and one can only note the successful sale of Wieffer. The new coach, Brian Priske, started with a dramatic victory in the Super Cup – PSV took revenge a year after the failure there. Still, there are already many misfires in the Eredivisie. For instance, the club also did not beat NEC – 1-1. As for the club from Catalonia, the coach, Michel, was retained, but many stars, led by Dovbyk, left. There are also many newcomers, but in a certain sense this creates a problem – they need to be brought together into a “single” team. So, as expected, there is no football and results at the level of 2023. There were 2 defeats in a row, and they limited themselves to draws in the struggles with Rayo Vallecano and Celta.
Both clubs started with defeats. “The Girondins” lost disappointingly, due to a stupid, completely unnecessary goal that Gazzaniga conceded already in the 90th minute of the confrontation. The Dutch club completely capitulated to Bayer, losing with a 0-4 score already in the first half.
Girona vs Feyenoord: possible starting line-ups
