Girona vs Liverpool Champions League betting tips and predictions

Girona state of play

Girona had a sensational season in 2023/24 as they finished third in La Liga to secure Champions League football. However, it's been a different story this year, with Michel's side ninth in the league.

The Spanish side come into Tuesday's clash on the back of their 3-0 home defeat against Real Madrid on Saturday, now having lost three of their last four league games.

They've also struggled in the Champions League, losing four of their five outings to leave them 30th in the table.

Liverpool state of play

Liverpool will be refreshed after their weekend off following the postponement of the Merseyside derby against Everton due to Storm Darragh.

Despite not playing, the Reds are still four points clear at the top of the Premier League while now having a game in hand.

Liverpool have been brilliant under Arne Slot and their success has also translated to the Champions League, with the Reds top of the table. They've won all five of their matches while scoring 12 times and conceding just once.

Key talking point: Reds to keep run going

Liverpool, who were held to a 3-3 draw at Newcastle last time they played, have had a chance to rest over the weekend - and that’s a scary proposition for Girona.

While Girona’s players were chasing shadows against Real Madrid on Saturday, Liverpool’s stars could have easily had their feet up watching Strictly Come Dancing.

There appears to have been no teething problems since Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp at Anfield in the summer, with Liverpool winning 18 of their 21 outings.

FIRST’s top tip for Girona vs Liverpool

Liverpool -1 on the handicap at 27/25 (2.08) with Mr.Play

Liverpool will have too much quality for this struggling Girona side so instead of backing the Reds to win, we like the -1 handicap, meaning we need them to win by two or more goals.

They’ve been dominant all season and Liverpool have the best defensive record in the Premier League, while they also boast a perfect Champions League record. Their total goal difference for both competitions is currently +29.

Extra tips

Mohamed Salah to score anytime at 101/100 (2.01) with Mr.Play

Salah has already scored 15 times and chipped in with 12 assists in all competitions this season. Whether the Liverpool man is after a new contract or not, he’s a decent price to get on the scoresheet.

Correct score: 0-2 at 31/5 (7.20) with Mr.Play

Small stakes play. Three of Liverpool’s last five games have ended 2-0 to the Reds.
