Girona vs Liverpool Preview
Girona
Spanish minnows Girona upset the odds in La Liga last season to qualify for the Champions League. However, their journey in the competition looks set to come to a premature end in the league phase. They come into this round of matches sitting 30th in the standings after winning just once in their five matches.
Despite conceding just nine goals, Girona have struggled in the final third of the field after scoring just four times. Scoring goals has been an issue for Girona throughout the season. In terms of xG, they have accumulated a metric of 18.60 from open play in La Liga this season but have scored just 17 goals from open play.

Meanwhile, they have conceded 20 goals in the Spanish top-flight from an xGA of 15.41. The hosts will be without key players such as Yangel Herrera and Viktor Tsygankov this week, while Jhon Solis could return from an ankle injury.
Liverpool
Arne Slot’s side already look assured of a place in the top eight at this stage, and they will be the preferred Girona vs Liverpool prediction for many on Tuesday. The Premier League side is the only team in the Champions League that still boasts a 100% record after five rounds of matches, and they have scored an impressive 12 goals and have conceded just once.

Despite the excellent attacking performances of Mohamed Salah this season, the Reds are still slightly underperforming in terms of an xG of 26.27 after scoring 23 goals from open play. But, a lot of Slot’s success this season has been built on their excellent defensive record, conceding just eight goals from an xGA of 9.25 from open play.
Slot may use this week’s showdown as an opportunity to rest some key stars, as the injury problems are beginning to mount. Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley, Alisson, and Diogo Jota are all ruled out for this Champions League clash.
Girona vs Liverpool Prediction
- Pick: Liverpool to Win
- Odds: -213 (20Bet)
- Score prediction: Girona 0-3 Liverpool
Liverpool may be without key defensive players this week, but their attacking threat looks far too talented to overlook.
Spanish sides are winless in their last seven against English teams, and Liverpool have been dominant at this stage of the competition after winning each of their last ten in the opening round of the Champions League.
The Reds should have the quality to take full advantage of Girona’s poor record in the competition to take a step closer to securing their spot in the top eight places this week.
Girona vs Liverpool Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Mohamed Salah to Record 1+ Assists
- Odds: (20Bet)
Mohamed Salah has been the standout player in the Champions League for Liverpool already this season. The winger will be a short-price selection to score on Tuesday. Therefore, it could be worth siding with Salah registering an assist. He has already accumulated eight assists in 14 league appearances this season, operating at an xA of 5.34.
Liverpool’s disciplinary record could also prove to be a value angle. The Reds are one of the sides that boasts the fewest yellows per game in the Premier League this term, averaging just 2.21 per 90. Therefore, it could be worth taking a chance on the visitors recording under 3.5 cards in Spain.
