Girona Preview
Girona will make history by hosting their first-ever UEFA Champions League match at the Estadi Montilivi. After a hard-fought 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain on matchday one, Girona are determined to bounce back with a victory in front of their home crowd.
Offensively, Girona’s hopes rest on their exciting players, such as Viktor Tsygankov, who has been pivotal in providing creativity in attack. Girona’s main challenge, however, will be overcoming the defensive setbacks from recent weeks.
Girona’s defense, led by Paulo Gazzaniga, will also need to step up after a disappointing own goal against PSG cost them a valuable point in Paris. Michel’s men will aim to convert more of their chances, as they had only three shots in their last Champions League outing. Playing in front of a passionate home crowd could give them the boost needed to claim their first-ever Champions League win.
Feyenoord Preview
Feyenoord arrives at Montilivi looking for redemption after a heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen on matchday one. The Dutch champions have struggled to find form in both the Eredivisie and the Champions League under new manager Brian Priske.
The injury to star striker Santiago Gimenez, who will miss the next few months due to a hip injury, has further compounded Feyenoord’s problems. Ayase Ueda is expected to step up in Gimenez’s absence, but the Mexican’s 26 goals from last season will be difficult to replace.
One positive for the Dutch side is the imminent return of Quilindschy Hartman, who could bolster their defense in the near future. However, for this match, they may be relying on younger players like Milambo and Osman to provide energy and creativity in the midfield.
