Arne Slot’s side have been in imperious form in Europe, winning all five of their Champions League matches so far. A victory against Girona would mark only the second time in the club’s history that they’ve won all six group stage games, with the previous occurrence coming in the 2021-22 season when they won their first seven European fixtures.
The Reds have been particularly impressive away from home in recent Champions League campaigns. They’ve won 15 of their last 20 away matches in the competition, including 10 of the last 12. This strong away form bodes well for their trip to Spain.
They’ve kept four consecutive clean sheets in the Champions League, with their only goal conceded coming in the third minute of their opening match against AC Milan. Since then, the Reds have gone 447 minutes without conceding in the competition.
A win against Girona would be Liverpool’s 150th victory in the European Cup/Champions League (including wins via penalty shootouts).
In contrast to Liverpool’s dominance, Girona have found their maiden Champions League campaign challenging. The Spanish side have won just one of their five European matches this season, a 2-0 home victory against Slovan Bratislava. They’ve lost their other four games, including a narrow 1-0 defeat to Sturm Graz in their last outing.
Head-to-Head
This match marks the first-ever competitive meeting between Girona and Liverpool.
Home Form vs European Pedigree
Despite their struggles in Europe, Girona have been strong at home in recent months. They’ve won 21 of their last 30 home matches across all competitions, with only six defeats and three draws. However, Liverpool’s current form make them favourites to win on Tuesday night.
Key Players
Mohamed Salah continues to be Liverpool’s talisman. The Egyptian forward has been in excellent form this season. His efficiency in front of goal could be crucial against a Girona defence that has struggled at times this season.
Prediction
Given Liverpool’s impressive European form and Girona’s struggles in the Champions League, the Reds are expected to come away with a victory. The odds favour a Liverpool win, with 888sport offering 2/5.
