Despite being shaken by the departure of coach Andoni Iraola in the summer when he moved to Premier League side “Bournemouth,” the capital side has adapted well under the guidance of their new coach, Francisco Rodrigues. Their impressive goalless draw against “Real” in the last round indicates they’ve accumulated the same number of points as after 12 rounds in their previous league campaign. Just two losses throughout the season underscore how challenging it has been for the “giants” this season. However, their inability to turn many draws into victories is a key reason why they find themselves in the middle of the table approaching this round. Out of play today is Ballo due to a muscular injury.
This time, things won’t be as straightforward for the hosts, as “Girona” tops the table with a two-point lead, which probably means they’ll present a completely different challenge for the hosts. The guests have accumulated 21 more points than at this stage last season, thanks to ten wins in 12 La Liga matches. It’s no surprise that manager Mishel is already the favorite to receive the “Manager of the Year” award in the division. Their championship title will be truly tested in the coming weeks. All ten of their La Liga victories have been against teams starting the game week tenth or lower. They lost 0-3 to their title rival, “Real” Madrid, and drew 1-1 with “Real Sociedad.” Not available to play today are Juan Carlos, Lopez, Justin, Garcia, and Artero.
