This should be a game for Girona. Although they have lost many key players and their squad is clearly weaker than last season, they have also made good reinforcements as they are a team playing in the Champions League this season, which means that they are pretty strong.
They have had a difficult start to the season with a away games against Betis (1:1) and Atletico (3:0). Now, they’ll play their first home game, where I expect them to be quite strong. Furthermore, their upcoming games are Sevilla away, Barcelona at home, and Valencia away. All of them are challenging matches, and at the moment, they have only 1 out of 6 possible points, so a victory here is really important.
Coach Michel is struggling to find the right combination. For this fixture, we could see some changes, such as Krejci replacing David Lopez, Van de Beek replacing Herrera, or uncertainty on the wings with Tsygankov, Bryan Gil, or Portu/Misehouy. Portu could be an important piece today, as I expect a more direct game with more pressing against Osasuna.
Although I don’t see Girona at the same level as last season, they have one of the best coaches in La Liga, and I expect them to be in the top half of the table.
On the other hand, Osasuna has been fortunate so far, having played both games at home and against weaker sides (Leganes and Mallorca). However, they’ve managed to get 4 out of 6 points and don't face much pressure here. In this context, I see Girona with a greater need for points.
Osasuna has a shorter squad than Girona to handle this midweek round, so we could see rotations and weaker players. Some key players, like Bryan Zaragoza—one of their best—could rest here as he played 90 minutes against Mallorca. Kike Barja, an important winger, is injured, and starting midfielder Iker Muñoz is also out.
I expect Girona to dominate this game and create plenty of chances. Osasuna will struggle as they are not strong defensively, and none of their opponents so far have tested them much. Girona will be a tough rival, generating plenty of opportunities, and this will be the first time this season that Osasuna faces such a challenge. Last season, Girona won 2-0 and 4-2. I see them as the better team here: better squad, more depth for rotations, more motivation, and home advantage.
这场比赛应该属于赫罗纳。虽然他们失去了很多核心球员,他们的阵容也明显弱于上赛季,但他们也进行了很好的补充,因为他们是一支本赛季参加欧冠比赛的球队,这意味着他们相当强大。
他们本赛季开局艰难,分别在客场对阵贝蒂斯(1:1)和马竞(3:0)。现在,他们将迎来他们的第一场主场比赛,我预计他们会非常强大。此外,他们接下来的比赛是塞维利亚客场,巴塞罗那主场,瓦伦西亚客场。所有的比赛都是具有挑战性的,目前,他们只有6分中的1分,所以这里的胜利真的很重要。
米歇尔教练正在努力寻找合适的组合。对于这场比赛,我们可以看到一些变化,比如克雷奇取代大卫·洛佩斯,范德比克取代埃雷拉,或者边路的不确定性是茨甘科夫,布莱恩·吉尔,或者波尔图/米塞霍伊。波尔图可能是今天重要的一环,因为我希望对阵奥萨苏纳的比赛更加直接,压力更大。
虽然我认为赫罗纳不会达到上赛季的水平,但他们拥有西甲最好的教练之一,我希望他们能进入积分榜的上半区。
另一方面,奥萨苏纳到目前为止还算幸运,两场比赛都是在主场和较弱的对手(莱加内斯和马洛卡)之间进行的。然而,他们已经取得了6分中的4分,并且在这里没有面临太大的压力。在这种情况下,我认为赫罗纳更需要积分。
奥萨苏纳的阵容比赫罗纳要短,所以我们可以看到轮换和较弱的球员。一些关键球员,比如他们最好的球员之一布莱恩·萨拉戈萨可以在这里休息,因为他在对阵马洛卡的比赛中打了90分钟。重要的边锋巴哈受伤,首发中场伊克尔Muñoz也缺阵。
我希望赫罗纳能主宰这场比赛,创造更多的机会。奥萨苏纳将会挣扎,因为他们的防守并不强大,到目前为止他们的对手都没有对他们进行过多少考验。赫罗纳将会是一个强硬的对手,会有很多机会,这将是奥萨苏纳本赛季第一次面临这样的挑战。上个赛季,赫罗纳以2比0和4比2获胜。我认为他们在这里是一支更好的球队:阵容更好,轮换更有深度,更有动力,还有主场优势。
