Girona welcome Liverpool in the Champions League on Tuesday evening and you can find our preview, prediction, the team news and confirmed line-ups down below.
Girona vs Liverpool Preview
Arne Slot’s side have been faultless in Europe’s elite competition, winning each of their five matches and conceding just one goal in the process.
Wins over AC Milan, Bologna, RB Leipzig, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid have put the Reds in first place of the new Champions League format.
Their performances have moved them to favourites to win the competition on UK betting sites – moving above the likes of Manchester City.
As for the hosts, Girona have lost four of their five UCL matches this season and sit outside the qualification zone in 30th place.
The Spanish side are coming off a crushing 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid and are winless from their last four matches in all competitions.
Michel’s side were beaten 1-0 in their last Champions League clash, after registering just one shot on target against Sturm Graz.
Girona vs Liverpool Team News
Arne Slot has a long list of absentees for the trip to Spain, as Alisson, Conor Bradley, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota, Ibrahima Konate and Kostantinos Tsikmas are all set to miss out.
Alexis Mac Allister will also miss the match through suspension after the Argentinian international accumulated too many yellow cards.
Girona will be without two key players for the UCL clash, as Yangel Herrera and Viktor Tsygankov miss out through injury.
Jhon Elmer Solis Romero is also a doubt after missing the 3-0 defeat to Los Blancos, but Arnau Martinez will be available for selection.

These two sides have been on very different runs of form in recent weeks, with the visitors on a run of 17 matches without defeat in all competitions.
