Prediction: 2-1
Girona
Girona will be looking to defend their three-goal lead in the tie against Almeria when they take on Estadio de los Juegos Mediterraneos on Saturday evening. The Catalans proved their worth in the first leg, with the team moving one step closer to making it to the playoffs final. Uruguay international Stuani missed the first leg through injury, and he is rated doubtful for the second leg. Paco Rodriguez should stick to the 3-5-2 formation with Sylla and Barcenas up front.
The Andalusians, on the other hand, have no other option but to go all guns blazing at Girona. Since Almeria are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Rubi’s troops, but we do not believe that they are capable of overcoming the deficit. Umar Sadiq is widely expected to lead the line for the hosts.
