Prediction: 2-2
Celta de Vigo
Estadi Municipal de Montilivi will host Monday’s football game between Girona and Celta Vigo. The Catalan side aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Villarreal and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of Os Celeste. Girona were producing thrilling displays at home ground last season and despite the fact that they were outclassed by Real Madrid in their last home fixture, we predict that the hosts are going to find the net on Matchday 4. The Galicians, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over the likes of Levante and Celta Vigo, but beating the Catalans at “Montilivi” is easier said than done. A lively contest is on the cards and given Celta’s attacking potential, we believe that the two teams are going to play out a high-scoring draw in Catalonia.

Cristhian Stuani is considered one of the best Uruguay attackers. Stuani was born on 12 October, 1986 and he began his senior career at Danubio.
