Girona vs Feyenoord prediction: Could visitors struggle again?
Key Stats
- Feyenoord lost their Champions League opener to Bayer Leverkusen 4-0.
- Each of Girona’s last four matches in all competitions featured under 2.5 goals.
- Girona have been averaging 1.0 goal per game since the summer.
- Girona had three players booked in their 1-0 loss to PSG on September 18th.
Correct score prediction: Girona 1-0 Feyenoord
Feyenoord looked off the pace in their Champions League opener against Bayer Leverkusen (0-4) and they could struggle against Griona on matchday two. The Spaniards have been averaging just one goal per game this season however, so expect margins to be slim.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Girona favourites to prevail
- HOME: 1/1 (2.00) – 50%
- DRAW: 11/4 (3.75) – 26.7%
- AWAY: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Girona have gone five games without a win, though they remain even-money favourites to break their duck in the Champions League with a victory over Feyenoord.
Feyenoord meanwhile, failed to win four of their last five games in all competitions and in that kind of form, it’s easy to see why they are 5/2 underdogs ahead of Wednesday’s clash. Read more of our latest football predictions on our dedicated page.

Player to watch – Daley Blind
Veteran defender Daley Blind remains a hugely influential figure for Girona and the 34-year-old will be eager to impress against a Dutch team in the Champions League this week.
Blind is a steady presence
Blind brings bags of experience to the Girona backline and the former Man Utd man is also a key distributor during build up phases of play for the Spanish Champions League debutants.
