Girona vs Feyenoord Prediction and Betting Tips | October 2nd 2024
Girona will welcome Feyenoord to Estadi Montilivi in the league phase of the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. Both teams suffered defeats in their campaign opener and will look to bounce back in this match.
The hosts have endured a five-game winless run in all competitions, suffering three defeats. They made their Champions League debut last month and suffered a late heartbreak, as Paulo Gazzaniga's 90th-minute own goal condemned them to a 1-0 away loss against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).
They have drawn their last two games and were held to a 1-1 draw by Celta Vigo last week in La Liga. Yangel Herrera, assisted by Daley Blind, helped them take the lead in the first half and Iago Aspas equalized in the second half for Celta.
The visitors suffered a 4-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen last week and will look to open their goalscoring account here. They played NEC in the Eredivisie last week and were held to a 1-1 draw. Jordan Lotomba equalized in the 88th minute as they maintained their unbeaten start to their league campaign.

Girona vs Feyenoord Prediction
Blanquivermells are winless in their last five games, though the last two have ended in draws. They have failed to score in three of their last four games and will look to leave a better account of themselves in their first home game in the Champions League.
Oriol Romeu and Daley Blind suffered injuries against Celta Vigo in La Liga last week and they are unlikely to start here. Cristian Portu started from the bench against Celta and might get the nod to start.
De club aan de Maas have won just one of their last five games in all competitions, with three ending in draws. They have drawn their last three away games. They have lost their last three away meetings against Spanish teams in UEFA competitions.
Santiago Gimenez is a key absentee while Bart Nieuwkoop and Calvin Stengs are also sidelined with injuries while Quilindschy Hartman is a doubt.
Both teams will have some notable absentees in this match, which is likely to impact their performance. With that in mind and considering their current form, a draw will likely ensue.
