After an unexpected weekend off thanks to Storm Darragh, Liverpool are set to face Girona in Spain on Tuesday evening. The storm led to the postponement of their Merseyside derby, the only Premier League match affected, offering the team a brief respite. However, this unforeseen break adds pressure to an already crowded fixture list.
Despite the pause, Liverpool's lead atop the Premier League has shrunk to four points, with Chelsea gaining ground in second place. Concurrently, Manchester City and Arsenal both stumbled, each drawing against Crystal Palace and Fulham. They now go on Champions League duty with a few days rest and the favourites at 4/9 to beat Girona with CopyBet.
In the Champions League arena, Liverpool have been impeccable, maintaining a perfect record from five matches. They hold a two-point advantage over Inter Milan and are well ahead of Girona, their next opponents.
Girona's European campaign has been less stellar, managing just one win over Slovan Bratislava while suffering defeats against giants like Paris St Germain and PSV Eindhoven. Their current form is worrying; they've failed to secure a win in four consecutive games and were knocked out of the Copa del Rey by a lower-tier team. A recent 3-0 loss to Real Madrid sees them languishing ninth in LaLiga, uncomfortably close to relegation danger.
Liverpool have already conquered AC Milan and Real Madrid this season, making them an intimidating adversary. Their latest success against Real Madrid at Anfield featured goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo. Even with missed penalties by Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah, Liverpool remain strong favourites for the Champions League crown.
Under Arne Slot's leadership, Liverpool have been dominant in recent European fixtures, dropping points only three times this season. They are expected to continue their victorious run against Girona, with betting odds strongly favouring their triumph.
This match represents the inaugural meeting between Liverpool and Girona. It also marks Girona's first encounter with an English club, providing a fresh challenge against a Liverpool side that has scored 49 goals across competitions while upholding a robust defence in Europe.
