Girona vs Liverpool Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Premier League giants are dominating the new UCL format.

The new Champions League format might be very tedious, but the upside is the entertainment value it has been bringing so far. Now, in MD 6, Girona will welcome Liverpool, who are in red-hot form.

Girona’s UCL campaign has hit a rough patch, with just one win in five outings dragging them down the group standings in the 30th. Their recent 1-0 loss to Sturm Graz highlights their challenges. By the looks of it, they aren’t going to stand a chance against the Redmen.

Liverpool, meanwhile, have been in imperious form, winning all five group games (the only team to do so in the UCL this season) and conceding just once. Their 2-0 triumph over Real Madrid last time out was just another showing of how dominant they have been.

While Girona will aim to salvage some pride in front of the home fans, let’s cut it, the Reds are one of the most in-form teams in Europe right now. They’d want to extend their perfect run and cement their position.

Players to watch

Arnaut Danjuma (Girona)

Girona’s Danjuma has been a standout in their Champions League campaign, with two assists to his name. Now, this is far from his ‘good’ season because he hasn’t shown anything else other than these two contributions. But the Dutch forward is the guy to look out for as he can cause trouble on the break.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

It’d be disrespectful to the Egyptian King if we don’t put the spotlight on him. It’s like every time Liverpool play Mo Salah is in the thick of contributing goals. We are not even halfway through the season and he already has 27 G/A in 21 games across all competitions.
