Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-2
Liverpool
There will be fireworks when Girona and Liverpool square off against each other at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in a highly-anticipated Champions League game. The Catalans experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Real Madrid at the weekend and they will have a mountain to climb against Liverpool as well. Both Yangel Herrera and Viktor Tsygankov remain in the recovery room, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Reds, on the other hand, were not in action at the weekend as their clash with local rivals Everton was postponed due to bad weather. As tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the in-form Premier League leaders, we are tempted to put our money on Arne Slot’s troops. Argentina midfielder Alexis Mac Allister serves a one-game ban, while all Bradley, Konate, and Tsimikas are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mohamed Salah):
Mohamed Salah is considered one of the best African players. Salah began his senior career at El Mokawloon, scoring 11 goals in 41 league appearances for the club and in 2012 he moved to Europe, signing a four-year deal with Swiss side Basel.
The pacey winger, who is capable of playing as a striker as well was producing outstanding displays for the RotBlau from 2012 to 2014 and, as a result, Chelsea chiefs decided to sign him on 26 January, 2015 for a fee of £11 million. Mohamed Salah, though, failed to impress in the Premier league and one year later he was sent on loan to Fiorentina.
After making 16 league appearances for the Viola in the Serie A, the left-footed winger signed a loan deal with Roma on 6 August, 2015. The Romans made the contract permanent on 3 August, 2016. Speaking of his international career, Salah made his Egypt debut on 3 September, 2011 in a 2-1 loss to Sierra Leone. It has to be noted that he was named Roma’s player of the season (2015/2016).
Highlighted Team (Girona):
After several unsuccessful attempts, finally secured promotion to Primera Division at the end of the 2016/2017 season. The Catalan outfit finished the campaign in second place in the standings, 14 points behind Levante and only two clear of third-placed Getafe. Girona play their home games at Montilivi and the capacity of the venue is 9.286.
Speaking of the club history, Girona were founded in the café Norat in La Rambla of Girona on July 23, 1930 and they played their first official game against Colonia Artigas. A number of Spanish coaches were in charge of the team in the past, but it has to be noted that Uruguayan tactician Dagoberto Moll (1965/1966) and Karoly Plattko (1948/1949) of Hungary were in charge of the club as well.
The Catalan team wear white shirts with red stripes when playing at home, while the colour of their shorts is blue. The team’s away kits are blue and black and Sporting Gijon are considered one of Girona’s fiercest rivals.
