Girona take on the visitors Athletic Bilbao in the round 13 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Friday, November 4th at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).
Girona made it to La Liga for the 2nd time in history. During the debut, it turned out to spend 2 seasons in a row here. After that, the Girondins were constantly the leaders of the Segunda, but finished below 2nd place, after which they lost in the playoffs. And only in the last season we managed to win the play-offs. Despite the fact that in the regular season there was only 6th place, the chances of newcomers to success did not look particularly solid. At the start, the wards of Michel Sanchez pleasantly surprised. They were able to win against Getafe and Valladolid. And 7 points after 5 rounds was an excellent indicator. But after that, a long losing streak began. At first, Girona lost three times in a row. Then at least they managed to take a draw on their field, with Cadiz and even Osasuna. But on the road nothing worked. And suddenly, albeit with a scandal, but a draw with Real Madrid was taken! It turned out to level the score with a penalty, which was sharply criticized by Ancelotti after the final whistle.

Athletic changed their coach in the summer. More precisely, they returned to cooperation with Valverde. Although his predecessor, Marcelino, won for the Basques the Super Cup, and in general, in the LaLiga, they progressed. At first, with Ernesto, the representative of Bilbao showed excellent results. they managed to win 5 out of 7 first matches of the new championship. This made it possible to gain a foothold among the leaders - there was talk of returning to the Champions League. But October did not frankly work out for the ambitious team. At first, Athletic did not win against the crisis Sevilla - they limited themselves to 1-1. Then, at their native San Mames, they lost a fundamental match with Atletico - Griezmann's goal at the beginning of the 2nd half remained the only one. After that, the Basques, twice leading in the score, ended only in a draw in the away match with Getafe. And with Barcelona, nothing happened at all, there was a devastating defeat 0-4. But they have already moved away from that blow - thanks to Williams' goal, it was possible to defeat Villarreal.
Girona won only 1 match out of 4 head-to-heads held. Athletic have won three times, including both in the 2018/2019 season. Bookmakers do not expect a second consecutive success from Girona. They had spent a lot of energy on the sensation of the last tour. And Athletic should take advantage of this by winning the match.
Prediction for the match: Athletic Bilbao to win.
