Girona take on the visitors Celta Vigo at the Estadi Montilivi in the 4th tour of the Primera Division. The match will be played in the eponymous city Girona on Monday, September 17th.
Girona have been looking pretty solid lately in the aspect of controlling the ball especially. The Blanquivermell were able to beat Villarreal on the away side with a 1-0 score last tour which was exactly a proof for that. In the second tour of the 2018/2019 Primera Division season they lost to Real Madrid with a 1-4 score but that was expected. In the first tour they drew against Valladolid and that was quite a questionable fixture. It`s worth noting that the team of Eusebio Sacristan showed some great performances in the Primera Division last season and almost got to the Eurocups zone. If the Gironistes played better in their home fixtures back then they could have an incredible season. The team has been able to save their key players in their squad this summer and has had some good friendly matches. For example, in one of those friendly games they have been able to beat Tottenham Hotspur. Overall, Girona have had seven friendly fixtures this summer, they have won four of them (over Melbourne City with a 6-0 score, over Kerala Blasters with a 5-0 score, over Sabadell with a 1-0 score, over Tottenham Hotspur with a 4-1 score), have drawn two (against Bolton with a 0-0 score, against Getafe with a 3-3 score) and have lost one (to Reus Deportiu with a 0-1 score). In their last match against Celta Vigo the Blanquivermell beat them with a 1-0 score.

Celta Vigo have been getting better results with every tour this season. In the first one they drew against Espanyol with a 1-1 score. In the second tour the team of Antonio Mohamed beat Levante with a 2-1 score. In the third tour the Celticos were able to beat the strong Atletico Madrid with a 2-0 score. One would say they were lucky in those fixtures because in the off-season the Celestes had looked bad. Back then they had had big problems with their defensive line. Also they had changed their head coach with Antonio Mohamed who had had no international experience before. After the Argentinian specialist hd come to the team he changed their tactics from four defenders to three. The change has been affecting the results of the team greatly so far. It was obvious in their fixture against Atletico Madrid, their opponents were not able to have even one attempt on target. However, in their last ten away matches O Celtina were able to win only once. Celta Vigo have had five friendly fixtures this summer, they have drawn three of them (against Cordoba with a 1-1 score, against Braga with a 0-0 score, against Fulham with a 2-2 score) and have lost two (to Southampton with a 2-3 score, to Mainz with a 1-2 score).
In the lead-up to the upcoming fixture Girona and Celta Vigo have almost equal chance of winning. Even though the squad of the Celticos is a bit better the hosting side have their own joker in the person of Christian Stuani who has returned from his injury recently. Even though the team of Antonio Mohamed beat Atletico Madrid last tour the team of Eusebio Sacristan will likely be able to get at least one point out of the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Girona to win with a 0 handicap.
