Prediction: 1-1
Sevilla
Girona will look to retain top position in La Liga standings when they take on Sevilla on Sunday evening. The Catalans are enjoying a season to remember, with the team leading the chase for the domestic trophy, but their performance in a goalless draw with Almeria was anything but promising. As both Aleix Garcia and David Lopez are banned for Sunday’s clash, home win should not be considered.
Los Sevillanos, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-2 defeat to Deportivo Alaves. Quique Sanchez Flores’ men are eager to return to winning ways as soon as possible, but seeing that Girona are tough to beat at home, the share of spoils is on the horizon. Morocco striker En Nesyri is on international duty, whilst midfielder Boubakary Soumare is sidelined through suspension. Both Nemanja Gudelj and Dodi Lukebakio remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Marcos Acuña):
Marcos Acuna is an Argentina international who plays for Sporting Club de Portugal as a winger. Born in Zapala, Argentina on October 28, 1991, Acuna started his senior career at Ferro Carril Oeste. After scoring 5 goals in 117 appearances for the Argentine club from 2010 to 2014, he moved to Racing Club in the summer of 2014.
The 172-cm-tall footballer looked sharper in front of goal during his spell with la Academia, scoring 16 goals in 78 appearances for the club. In June 2017 Marcos Acuna decided to take a step forward in his career, joining Portuguese outfit Sporting CP. He made his debut with the Lions in a 2-0 win over Deportivo Aves on August 6, 2017.
Acuna plays for the Argentine national team as well, making his debut for la Albiceleste on November 15, 2016 in a World Cup qualifier against Colombia. His main position is left-back, but he is used as both left midfielder and left winger as well.
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.
