Girona FC
Girona secured European qualification for the first time in their history by finishing third in the 2023-24 La Liga season, accumulating 81 points from 38 matches. However, they will struggle to replicate their previous success due to the departure of key players such as Savinho, Aleix Garcia, Yan Couto, and Artem Dovbyk. Despite making 10 additions during the transfer window, Girona’s fast start in La Liga has been hindered. The team began the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Real Betis, but suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Atletico Madrid. The Blanquivermells will aim to produce a positive response in their first home game of the season, aiming to replicate their performance from last season, which saw them win 15 of their 19 home league games.
Girona is without Ricard Artero, Jastin, and Valery due to ankle and shoulder issues. Yaser Asprilla, who completed a €24m move from Watford, features in the matchday squad. Bojan Miovski could make his La Liga debut.
CA Osasuna
Osasuna is facing a La Liga campaign without Jagoba Arrasate, who was sacked after the first seven games of last season. Vicente Moreno was given the tough job of replacing Arrasate, and has already outperformed his Almeria tenure. Osasuna has gone six league games without defeat since losing to Real Betis on May 5. Moreno is now preparing to take charge of his first away match as Osasuna boss, aiming to guide Los Rojillos to their first competitive away win over Girona since June 2016.
Visitors Ruben Pena and Kike Barja miss the match due to muscle and knee injuries. Meanwhile midfielder Iker Munoz is ruled out due to foot injury. Moreno may make changes.
