Stat Attack
- This is Girona’s first-ever competitive meeting against Liverpool.
- Liverpool are playing at Montilivi for the very first time against Girona.
- Girona are facing English opposition for the first time competitively.
- Girona have kept just one clean sheet in their first five league phase fixtures.
- Liverpool have scored nine goals in their last four league phase fixtures without conceding.
Prediction
With just one victory to their name in this phase and having lost their La Liga clash against Real Madrid 3-0 on Saturday, Girona need a huge performance to ignite any qualification hopes they have left.
Liverpool meanwhile should be thankful for Storm Darragh postponing their Merseyside derby at Everton, as they looked pretty sloppy in their 3-3 draw at Newcastle which hopefully means a polished display here.
If Liverpool can make that improvement, this game should be a routine result but Girona haven’t been easy to beat at home in this competition.
Prediction: Girona 1-2 Liverpool
Result: Girona 0-1 Liverpool
