Girona vs Liverpool Predictions

• Girona lost 3-0 to Real Madrid at the weekend
• Liverpool have won 18 of their last 21 games
• The Reds have scored three or more goals in each of their last three trips

Liverpool lead the way in Europe

Liverpool are running away with the new-look Champions League, winning all five of their games in the competition so far. Their 2-0 victory against Real Madrid in their last game was a real statement of intent for a side who have been fantastic under new boss Arne Slot.

The in-form Reds were also handed an extended rest before Tuesday’s visit to Girona, with their Merseyside derby against Everton being called off on Saturday. That break comes at the perfect time and sets Liverpool up to continue their perfect start in Europe.

Girona look out of their depth

Champions League debutants Girona are struggling with the step up to Europe’s top competition, as they’ve lost four of their first five games in the competition. Their 1-0 loss at Sturm Graz last time out left their hopes of progressing in tatters, while defeats against Dutch sides PSV and Feyenoord suggest they’ll struggle against the Premier League leaders.

The Reds have won 18 of their 21 games under Slot and they’re unbeaten across 10 trips. Liverpool have also been a little more free scoring on the road, netting three goals in each of their last three away games. That record should be extended here, given Girona’s poor form. They’ve conceded seven goals across their two losses to Dutch opposition, while they were handily beaten 3-0 by Real Madrid at the weekend.

Liverpool look far too strong for Girona and they can cruise to victory here, so back them to net at least three goals in Tuesday’s game.

Diaz to return to form

Luis Diaz is Liverpool’s top scorer in the Champions League so far, but the Colombian has been quiet of late. Despite that, he’s been a threat across each of their last three matches in Europe and this looks like the perfect opportunity for him to return to form.

Diaz had 0.5 Expected Goals in the win over Real Madrid and this clash with a leaky Girona side should offer more chances. He’s had six shots on target across his last three matches in the Champions League, with Mo Salah playing more of a creative role in this competition. Across all competitions, Diaz is second only to Salah in terms of xG generated for Liverpool, so back him to be a threat against Girona.
