Girona vs Granada Preview


Girona vs Granada

Competition – Spanish Primera Liga

Stadium: Municipal de Montilivi

Date: 24th May 2024

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

The final round of the 2023/24 La Liga season kicks off this Friday night with a clash between Girona and Granada.

Both teams come into this final round with opposing tales to tell. Girona, the season’s surprise package, are mixing with the big boys at the top of the table while Granada are already relegated.

Girona stunned most football enthusiasts across the continent with their consistency this season which resulted in them securing a spot in the Champions League for next season with a third-place finish. This is their first venture into European football and they look to end the season with a huge win in front of their fans before European football next season.

We expect the Estadio Municipal de Montilivi faithful to be in full voice and show their appreciation for a historic season. The hosts should be confident of heading into the weekend in celebratory mood given that they have won eight of their last 12 matches played on Fridays (D1, L3).

Meanwhile, Granada’s calamitous season will finally come to a long overdue end here. The visitors’ demotion to Spain’s second division was confirmed some time ago so no tears should be shed on this last-day formality.

But José Ramón Sandoval will perhaps be looking to at least sign off on a high note since he has guided three previous teams to six wins in seven games against Girona himself (L1). However Sandoval will know that concluding the Nasrids season with a win will be a very tough task considering that they’ve failed to win any of their four games played on a Friday this campaign (D1, L3).

Their travelling support won’t be expecting much either having experienced series of disappointments on their road trips with Granada the only team in Europe’s traditional top-five leagues yet to win an away league match this season (D3, L15).
