Athletic Bilbao vs Girona Free Betting Tips

Last Monday’s 3-0 defeat at Ciutat de València against the Levante ensured Eduardo Berizzo’s exoneration from Athletic Bilbao’s coach. In his place was hired Gaizka Garitano, promoted by the second team and for a short time coach of Eibar and Deportivo La Coruna in the first division. Of the Athletic Bilbao seen last Monday against the Levant to many it seemed alarming, beyond the defeat, the lazy and renouncing attitude of the team, which held the field only in the first half and then collapse completely in the second.

The first match with Gaizka Garitano coach Athletic played it last night at the Huesca, beaten 4-0 as in the first leg. He took the field with all the owners, including Williams, Aduriz, Inigo Martinez, considering that some of these will be absent in the league. In fact, against the Girona Athletic will not have available three defenders disqualified: in addition to Yuri Berchiche, in his third and final round of disqualification, will also be absent Íñigo Martínez and Peru Nolaskoain.

Eusebio Sacristan’s Girona is in eighth place, but with the possibility of reaching fifth place with a victory, and has not lost a game for two months. He had one more day of rest, because in the King’s Cup he played on Wednesday. He eliminated the Alaves, beaten 2-1 after 2-2 of the first leg. In the last league game, a 1-1 draw at home against Atletico Madrid, goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was injured in Girona. Because of an injury to the adductors will be missing for at least ten days. In the door there will be the thirty-seven Gorka Iraizoz, a so-called “ex”: he is one of the most experienced goalkeepers of the championship and with the longest experience in the history of Athletic Bilbao.
In the defensive line of the Girona will be absent for the second consecutive time at the same time three holders, all injured (Marc Muniesa, Carles Planas and Aday Benítez, absent for more time with a knee injury).

Football Prediction Analyzed Athletic Bilbao vs Girona

The current situation in Athletic Bilbao and the numerous absences in defense lead us to believe that Girona can at least be able to score a goal at San Mamés. At the same time to Athletic players, at the first championship with the new coach, the maximum effort will be required and will not be offered any mitigation compared to a possible yet another disappointing performance. At least one goal from both teams looks like a realistic hypothesis at the moment.

The probable formations

ATHLETIC BILBAO (4-2-3-1): Herrerín; De Marcos, Núñez, Yeray, Ander Capa; Dani Garcia, Beñat; Muniain, Raul Garcia, Williams; Aduriz.
GIRONA (5-2-3): Iraizoz; Pedro Porro, Ramalho, Espinosa, Juanpe, Granell; Pere Pons, Aleix García; Borja García, Stuani, Portu.
