Girona FC
Girona is preparing for an unforeseen Champions League campaign, with Michel’s team aiming to finish on the podium positions after an exceptional few months. Girona’s record has been bleak since the turn of the year, with Real Madrid losing the title and Barcelona gaining an unassailable lead in second place. However, a trip to Valencia last weekend saw Girona return to victorious ways, with goals from Savio, Artem Dovbyk, and Yarek Gasiorowski, and a penalty from Pepelu. Moreover, with a buffer of five over Atletico Madrid, Girona is four points adrift of Barcelona and aims to avoid losing back-to-back La Liga home matches for the first time in the current campaign. Michel’s future in the Champions League remains uncertain, as he remains a target for several European clubs.
Girona players, including Artero, Solis, and Roca, are not injured in their recent match against Valencia. Additionally, left-back Miguel Gutierrez might recover from a thigh injury, while Yan Couto’s illness is expected to improve. Dovbyk is two strikes behind Sorloth in the Golden Boot race.
Granada FC
Granada boss Jose Ramon Sandoval is not expecting any offers from the continent’s best this summer. He failed to keep the 2020-21 Europa League quarter-finalists adrift in Spain’s top division. Despite taking seven points from three matches against Alaves, Athletic Bilbao, and Osasuna in April, Sandoval’s men have gone four matches in May without picking up a single point. Additionally, their demotion got confirmed before kick-off in their 4-0 loss to Real Madrid on May 11. Granada is currently in 19th place in the table, and while they are three points better off than Almeria,. Their identical head-to-head points and goals tallies mean they could still be bumped down to last place on goal difference.
Granada’s Raul Torrente, Kamil Jozwiak, Raul Fernandez, Myrto Uzuni, Ignasi Miquel, and Augusto Batalla are all on the touch-and-go list due to muscular cramps. If Torrente is spared, Kamil Piatkowski will be the first choice. Meanwhile, Antonio Puertas missed a penalty and has weakened his chances of returning to the starting lineup.

Girona FC (2.5)
