Prediction: 2-1
Girona
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves, Espanyol will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Girona on Matchday 27. Los Periquitos are only three points clear of the relegation zone, meaning that Monday’s game is of big importance for them. Bearing any fresh injury worries, manager Manolo Gonzalez is unlikely to make changes to the team that defeated the Basques.
Girona, on the other hand, have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team collecting only one point in total from the last four league matches. As Girona are not regarded as good travellers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the relegation-threatened hosts. To make things even worse for the away team, former Barcelona midfielder Oriol Romeu suffered an injury in a 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo.
Highlighted Player (Daley Blind):
Born in Amsterdam, Netherlands on March 9, 1990, Daley Blind is a professional footballer who plays for Eredivisie club Ajax. Blind is a product of the famous football school, and he made his debut with the Amsterdammers on December 7, 2018, against Volendam.

Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football.

Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
