Our prediction for this Segunda Division match:
Girona will be aiming to retain their spot in top six when they host Mirandes to their Estadio Municipal de Montilivi on Matchday 41. The Catalan outfit are fighting hard to book their spot in the La Liga 2 playoffs, and they have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at Mirandes. Experienced attacker Christian Stuani should keep his place in the starting Xi after finding the net in a 2-1 loss to Sporting Gijon, while Alejandro Baena is back from suspension.
Los Rojillos, on the other hand, rolled over Ibiza 4-0 at the weekend to put an end to their four-game losing run. Mirandes, though, are not regarded as good travelers, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Girona’s party at “Montilivi”. As for the away side, both Cesar Gelabert and Simon Moreno are sidelined with injuries, but they should be the only absentees in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Victor Sanchez):
Victor Sanchez began his senior career at Barcelona, playing eight games for the Catalan giants in La Liga. He played for Barca B and Barca C in the past as well, but in 2011 he signed a two-year deal with Swiss side Neuchtatel Xamax. In the 2012 winter transfer window Sanchez returns to Spain, but this time out he joined Barca’s local rivals Espanyol.
The midfielder, who is capable of playing as a defender as well, signed a three-and-a-half year deal with los Periquitos and he has been playing for the club ever since. Victor Sanchez won the Champions League, La Liga and Copa del Rey trophies in the 2008/2009 season with Barcelona. He has yet to make his Spain debut, but he has three caps for Catalonia.
Victor Sanchez made seven appearances for Barcelona in the 2008/2009 campaign. Sanchez has a contract with Espanyol, which expires on 30 June, 2018. The midfielder was born on 8 September, 1987 in Terrasa.
Highlighted Team (Mirandes):
Mirandes is a Spanish club founded on May 3, 1927. Los Rojillos compete in Segunda division, with the team still eyeing their first ever promotion to La Liga. Mirandes’ home colours are red and black, while their away kit is mainly light blue.
Mirandes did remarkably well to make it to the Copa del Rey semis in the 2019/20 season, with the team outplaying the likes of Celta, Villarreal, and Sevilla in the process. Real Sociedad, though, proved to be a big catch for Mirandes in the Spanish Cup semis. Los Rojillos welcome their rivals at Estadio Municipal de Anduva. The stadium was opened back in 1950, with the venue being able to host 5,759 spectators.
Mirandes played their first game on June 4, 1927, with the team defeating Arabarra thanks to Fidel Angulo’s goal. Zaragoza and Alaves are considered one of the club’s main rivals. Los Rojillos have won Castilla and Leon Cup on two occasions (2011, 2012).
