Dec 9, 2024
At Girona’s Montilivi Stadium, the home team will attempt to rise from a disappointing position in the standings and achieve what no one in Europe has managed so far: stopping a red-hot Liverpool, leaders in the Champions League and undefeated until now.
Girona's Form and Key Stats
The latest heavy defeat for Girona, a 3-0 home loss to Real Madrid, does not bode well for Michel’s team, especially since it occurred at home against a top-tier opponent. A similar challenge awaits in their upcoming Champions League clash against the Reds.
What’s more concerning for Girona, however, is not just the predictable setback against Real Madrid in La Liga, but their poor Champions League standing. With only 3 points in 5 matches, they have struggled even though their opponents were not all top teams.
In their last 5 matches across all competitions, Girona have secured just 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with an average of 1.2 goals scored and 1.4 goals conceded per match.
Liverpool's Form and Key Stats
After an unexpected break in Premier League action (due to the postponed derby against Everton), Liverpool enter this match with more energy and focus, aiming for their sixth win in as many Champions League games.
While Anfield continues to be a fortress for the Reds, their away stats are equally impressive: 10 wins in their last 12 Champions League trips, with 19 positive results in their last 20 away games.
In their last 5 matches across all competitions, Liverpool have registered 4 wins and 1 draw, averaging 2.4 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per match.
Match Prediction and Tactical Overview
The 3-3 draw against Newcastle, caused primarily by a mistake from Kelleher, followed by the postponed Everton derby, may have slowed Liverpool in theory, but not in practice. Slot’s men remain rested and ready to secure their sixth victory in the competition.
Girona’s performances, as seen against Real Madrid in La Liga and in their 4 losses from 5 Champions League matches, suggest they lack the tools to challenge Salah and his teammates. Liverpool is the clear favorite, with a likely away win (2).
