Correct score prediction: Sevilla 2-2 Girona
It’s early days for these two sides who have undergone extensive changes over the summer. Girona were really impressive against Osasuna on Thursday, but they’ve only won two of their last 10 away in La Liga, and may have to settle for a point here. Goals do look likely though with Sevilla shaping up to be a more attacking team this season.

Girona preview: Valery rated doubtful
The visitors have an injury concern over Valery. Michel may limit the rotation after a really impressive showing against Osasuna, but could bring Oriol Romeu in to strengthen the midfield.

Player to watch – Viktor Tsygankov
The only attacking star from last season to remain at Girona is Viktor Tsygankov. He’s capable of operating out wide or as an attacking midfielder and has already chipped in with a goal and an assist this term.
A bigger threat after the break
The 26-year-old tends to do most of his damage in the second half of games. Since the start of last season, seven of his nine goals in La Liga have come after the break.
