Command Analysis
Girona
SpainCurrent form
After two rounds in the Champions League, Girona is one of eight clubs that have not yet scored a single point. The upcoming opponent is also in this eight. At the start, the "white-reds" fought well away from home against PSG, but an own goal at the very end led to a 0:1 defeat. In the second round, there was a goal-rich home game against Feyenoord, again not without own goals (this time two by Girona players), in the end, the representative of the Netherlands won with a score of 3:2. That meeting was also remembered for the fact that both teams failed to convert penalties.
In the Spanish championship, things are not going well for Michel charges either. In 10 rounds, they managed to collect only 12 points, with which the team is in 12th place in the table. There is no stability or progress in Girona game, one can see an alternation of very different results. Thus, they managed to win 2:1 against Athletic on their home field, after which in the last round there was a 0:1 home defeat to Real Sociedad.
It is obvious that https://www.gironafc.cat target=_blank rel=noopener>Girona is experiencing a quite expected decline after a brilliant last season. The squad is noticeably weaker, plus there are huge problems with injured players. Suffice it to say that today, for various reasons, seven players will not be able to play. Of course, not all of them are in the main squad, but given the tight schedule, Michel has noticeably fewer opportunities for rotation.

Slovan Bratislava
SlovakiaCurrent form
Slovan, like their upcoming opponent, have not scored a single point in the Champions League in two rounds. This is not very surprising, since the representative of Slovakia does not have a strong enough selection of players for such a level. At the start, the team from Bratislava suffered a crushing defeat 1:5 from Celtic on the road. Then there was a home match against Manchester City, where there was also no chance of winning (0:4).
In the Slovak championship after ten rounds, Slovan does not occupy the usual first place. Ahead of Žilina with a gap of one point. In the last two rounds, Vladimir Weiss charges lost points in the confrontation with Trenčín (1:1) and with a minimum score of 1:0 defeated Spartak from Trnava.

2.70Tip and bets
Girona have the home field factor and class advantage on their side. We don't think that this will be enough for a crushing victory today. The Spanish club has been in a decent decline since the beginning of the season, the squad has noticeably weakened, plus there are a lot of injured players. Slovan did not impress in the matches against Celtic and Manchester City, but the team is capable of a lot in attack, the same Bargesyan alone is capable of creating a lot of problems for the hosts' defense. We believe that bookmakers are somewhat overestimating Girona current capabilities and suggest playing a somewhat risky bet on an underdog with high odds.
Our prediction is a victory for Slovan with an Asian handicap (+1.5) at odds of 2.50
Bet on total
In the last four matches, Girona failed to keep a clean sheet in defense. It is clear that today the hosts will play to win, even take risks and open up in some ways. In this scenario, Slovan will have a chance to score. At the same time, it will be difficult for the Slovaks to withstand the pressure of a superior opponent, they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet at their goal. There is a high probability of an exchange of goals in the upcoming match.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.97
Yellow Card Betting
Slovan is a pretty rough team. In six of the last seven away matches of the Slovaks in the Champions League, the referees showed more than four yellow cards, which we expect to happen today.
Forecast - total yellow cards over 4.5 with odds of 2.25
