Villarreal
The team is perceived as a representative of the second echelon in Spanish football. And under Unai Emery, they even managed to win the Europa League, after which there was a semi-final of the Champions League. But he left, and if at first there was some progress in Primera, then the last season was very difficult. Only Marcelino’s return to the coaching post made it possible to stabilize the situation. As a result, the yellow submarine took the eighth position. This was not enough to start in the European Cups, let alone in the League of Conferences. On the other hand, it was now possible to focus on progress in Primera in the new draw. It turns out not bad – the submariners win more than half of the matches and claim a place in the quartet of leaders. In the last round, Osasuna quickly took a two-goal lead after a double by Budymir, but in the end they drew with it.

Girona
The club is a Spanish representative of that unique trend in European football in the 2023/2024 season, when in the top divisions they suddenly shot someone who was not expecting it in any way. In Primera, the Girondins took the lead an hour ago. But then, lagging behind Barcelona and Real Madrid, he finished in third place, which also exceeded any expectations. But now, as expected, the team, which sold and let go of a number of leaders, gave up sharply. She has little success in her debut Champions League. Another failure was this week’s match with Sturm – they lost 0:1. But even in Primera, there are enough misfires, however, by the end of the fall, they have established themselves at least in the upper part of the tournament table. And Espanyol was defeated 4:1 a week ago.
Statistics of personal meetings
The yellow submarine has won six of its last seven matches. But the only game won by the Girondins came last season.
Forecast
Bookmakers do not believe in Tsygankov and company. Marcelino’s wards have gained form and should beat a potential competitor at home (coefficient – 1.87).
