Girona take on the visitors Toulouse in a Friendly match. The match will be played on Wednesday, July 31st at Torremirona Sport Center (Navata).
Girona first reached La Liga in 2016, and last season was their most successful in their 94-year history. The "Blanquivermells" won bronze medals and secured a spot in the Champions League. Girona was so effective in attack that they became the second-highest scoring team in the league, netting 85 goals, only two fewer than champions Real Madrid. The team isn't rushing to peak form yet, having played three friendlies, all of which ended in draws. In one of these, against French club Montpellier, Girona reminded everyone of their scoring prowess by netting three goals, though they conceded the same number.

Toulouse, on the other hand, won their first French Cup in their 54-year history last year. However, they finished only 11th in the league, conceding 46 goals in 34 matches. The "Violets" have also been conceding in two of the three friendlies they've played since the season ended, including against lower-league teams Rodez and Pau, the latter of whom scored twice against them.
It’s tempting to bet on a win for the Spanish club, given how impressive they were last season. However, Girona's tendency to draw in friendlies holds back that decision. Still, there's no reason not to bet on them scoring a couple of goals. Toulouse's defense is currently lacking, as evidenced by the two goals conceded to a Ligue 2 team. Girona was the second-highest scoring team in last season's league, and they recently scored three goals against another French club. It's likely they'll score at least a couple against Toulouse as well.
Prediction for the match: Girona to score over 1.5 goals – yes.
