Latest football commentary Girona vs Athletic Bilbao
Girona had an impressive 2023-24 campaign, finishing third in La Liga, but they are now struggling to replicate that success. They lost both of their Champions League games this season, struggled against Paris Saint-Germain and Feyenoord, and are winless in their last four La Liga games. They lost to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, before drawing with Rayo Vallecano and Celta Vigo, leaving Girona in 12th place with nine points. A win on Sunday would boost morale and give the Catalans some momentum ahead of the international break.
Athletic Bilbao, who are also in the Europa League and just won 2-0 at AZ, are currently 11th with 14 points from eight games. Ernesto Valverde's side are unbeaten in their last six games, including four in La Liga, with wins over Las Palmas, Leganes and Celta Vigo, before drawing 1-1 with Sevilla in their last game. Athletic beat Girona 3-2 in their last meeting and have been in better form recently.
The encounter between the two teams promises to be an exciting one, with Girona strong at home and Athletic on a good run of form. With both sides determined, the game is expected to end in a draw, something both managers would be happy with if suggested before kick-off. Although Girona are in a difficult situation, the support from the home crowd could help them pull off a surprise in this match.
