Athletic Club vs Girona prediction, odds and preview

Athletic Club will welcome Girona to San Mames on Monday night in La Liga, in what is expected to be a keenly contested battle.

The hosts sit in fifth place on the league standings, five points off the top four places ahead of this game.

Meanwhile, Girona sit in second place, six points off leaders Real Madrid who thrashed them last weekend in a 4-0 result.

The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 stalemate and that result could pan out one more time as both clubs have suffered only one defeat in their last five league matches.

Girona’s title hopes looked dwindled after their 4-0 loss to Real Madrid. Nonetheless, Michel’s side can be confident of closing the gap at the top, knowing Los Blancos failed to grab all three points in Vallecas on Sunday afternoon.

It remains unknown as to whether Nico Williams will pass the fitness test for this clash, as the 21-year-old is suffering from a foot injury.

Meanwhile, Girona will be without the services of Yan Couto in this game, as the fullback is out due to suspension.

The match starts at 20:00 GMT.
