Girona and Feyenoord, two teams with equal standing thus far in tournament play are set to throwdown in the Champions League's League Stage. Gives you a warm and fuzzy feeling, doesn't it?
Beneath the bright lights of the goal posts, we've got Feyenoord's Timon Wellenreuther in the mix. Given his stats - a 5.20 rating with a single save - ol' Timon seems to have been enjoying the view more than actually blocking the goals.
Meanwhile, between the bars for Girona, we'll find Paulo Gazzaniga, boasting a 6.80 rating with 5 saves. He might have had a scone or biscuit or something; it's still more activity than we've seen from Wellenreuther.
Feyenoord's top performers have been Dávid Hancko, Antoni Milambo, and Quinten Timber. I tell ya, Hancko's accurate pass percentage is so high it gives me vertigo. Aside from that, goal-wise, we are batting zero here, folks.
Girona's top performers, like Bryan Gil and Ladislav Krejčí, seem to be crowding each other for the top spot on accuracy. Again, no goals, so it's like judging a beauty pageant where no one's bothered to wear any makeup.
Let's rewind to the recent histories. Feyenoord, bless their hearts, they've been sliding down a slope faster than a penguin on a luge. Girona, on the other hand, lost to PSG recently, which is like saying you lost an arm wrestle against The Terminator.
Alright, folks, drumrolls please, my prediction on this would be - and remember, these things are never wrong except when they are – a Girona victory.
