Vibrant Catalan derby, key to survival

Montilivi will now live in one of the most exciting Catalan derbies in recent years. The fight for permanence, fiercer and tougher than before, will go through the Girona fiefdom today, which will accept the Spanish more easily than the locals. The three points at stake are pure gold, rivalry is the key to survival.

It was logical then Diego Martínez’s team, fourth from the bottomwill face the new ‘final’ just one point from the relegation zone and after a chain of three defeats that caused alarm. It encourages you to score so the water doesn’t get any hotter that the revolts went down, because a new KO could congeal the parrots in the well. Girona’s arrival was not relaxed. Twelfth and five points above the relegation marked by Valencia, its mattress is looser but it has been seen that no one is exempt from burning and two bad results send you falling into the hot zone.

He Girona faces the appointment supported by an irregular trajectory Well, like the parakeets, they’ve gone three games without a win (two losses and a draw). to win, Michel’s team it is temporarily closer to Europe than relegation and will ensure direct ‘goal average’ with the blue and white team after a 2-2 draw in the first round

At home and in front of their fans, the Girona team will want to take a step forward against the blue and whites, a team that has been better in the district of Montilivi in ​​the First Division, as the Spanish have won both game played there.

expected a beautiful environment in Montilivi and one of the best entries, not of the season, but historically. There are no vacant seats and the ‘everything sold’ sign has been up since Monday. Expectations are high and the Spaniard will not be alone either, as a large group of parakeet fans will be in the stands of the ‘Gironi’ field.

Míchel could repeat Vallecas’ eleven, along with Iván Martín in lieu of the wounded Alex Garcia and some other changes depending on the physical state of the internationals. It’s more complicated Diego Martinez to make their line-up for this transcendental rivalry, above all, to rally the rear.

Yesterday it was confirmed Brian Oliván does not arrive on time in today’s appointment, so he will have to improvise a new left-back as he goes along without relying on Pedrosa. To add insult to injury, Cabrera who played in the said position is low because of the sanction. Seeing the dark panorama, DM can put Óscar Gil as a left-back (switched legs) with ruben sanchez on the right, being Montes and Sergi Gomez the two in the middle.

There are also doubts about the front attack because Denis Suárez and Edu Exposito They arrived with discomfort, so it was not known who would come before them. Darder. Spanishism committed itself to the sweet moment of Joselu after his spectacular debut with Red, to dream of taking the necessary victory for Girona.

Four former parrots in the Girona range

Girona has four players in its ranks who in their time have been in the parrot ranks, although one of them is in standing, Yangel Herrera. The Venezuelan continued to be away from the pitch longer than expected, as michel admitted: He is not feeling well and will miss a game in which he left his mark less than three months ago, silencing the stands at the RCDE Stadium moments after donning the blue and white. The Vallecano coach also emphasized the importance of being able to do things with Yangel, ensuring the leap in quality he provides to the squad when he is fit.

yes they will be available Bernardo Espinosa, Stuani and David Lopez. Both the Colombian and the Uruguayan are likely to watch the game from the starting bench. It seems not the same for a captain and one of the Spanish legends, david lopezwho is ready to meet his former colleagues and show that his level is up to the most demanding events.
