Girona vs Feyenoord Predictions

• Feyenoord are underperforming in the Eredivisie, both in terms of points and underlying numbers
• The Dutch side were thumped 4-0 at home to Bayer Leverkusen in their Champions League opener
• Girona have posted some strong Expected Goals numbers and this clash offers them an opportunity to start converting their chances

Turning point for hosts

Girona were unfortunate to lose their first-ever Champions League game, with Paulo Gazzaniga’s late error handing PSG a 1-0 win in Paris. The Spanish outfit held firm amidst a flurry of chances for the French champions until that added-time slip-up.

Girona’s incredible success last term brought the sharks circling and they’ve had to transform their side for this campaign. That’s left them winless in five, but it’s not all doom and gloom. Only Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and PSG have won the Expected Goals battle against Girona this term.

Feyenoord head into this with slightly stronger results but they have had issues in the Eredivisie. Their underlying numbers in clashes with NEC Nijmegen, Groningen and Sparta Rotterdam point to wider issues in the wake of Arne Slot’s departure.

Feyenood have made a mixed start domestically and they sit sixth in the Eredivisie. They were also thumped 4-0 at home by Bayer Leverkusen in their Champions League opener.

While Girona are on a poor run, they’ve created plenty of chances. Feyenoord are struggling to create openings and keep opponents at bay in a weaker league, so take Girona to claim a vital win.
