Needing just a point to secure their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, Arsenal travel to Montilivi to face Girona on Wednesday night. The Gunners eased to a 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb in Europe, while hosts Girona lost 1-0 to AC Milan in Matchday 7 and are all but certain to be eliminated.
Latest Girona vs Arsenal team information
Lewis-Skelly is fit and will continue at left-back, before Calafiori returns to the Premier League against Manchester City this weekend. Odegaard and Mikel Merino will be assessed after missing the Wolves game through injury. Gabriel Jesus, Bukayo Saka, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White are all still unavailable. Kai Havertz has been given the task of leading the line after a relatively quiet transfer window. If he scores, he will become the first German since 2015 to score in four consecutive Champions League games. The last player to do so was Marco Reus.
On Girona's side, coach Michel will not be able to use striker Bryan Gil because he has received three yellow cards in the Champions League. Meanwhile, two other cases that cannot play are Daley Blind and goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga. Michel is more optimistic about Gazzaniga while the injuries of Miguel Gutierrez and Ladislav Krejci are still a big question mark.
Latest expected lineup Girona vs Arsenal
Girona:
P. Lopez; Martinez, D. Lopez, Juanpe, Frances; Romeu, Herrera; Tsygankov, Van de Beek, Danjuma; Ruiz
Arsenal:
Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Nwaneri, Havertz, Martinelli
Latest football prediction Girona vs Arsenal
Arsenal are on the brink of qualifying for the next round with just a draw away to Girona in their final group game. While Liverpool and Barcelona have already secured their place in the next round, Mikel Arteta's side will still have to focus on the upcoming trip to the Iberian Peninsula.
Even if Arsenal lose the match against Girona, it is very unlikely that they will not make it to the play-off group in this year's tournament. The 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb recently helped Arsenal set a record of winning 3 consecutive matches in the European Cup with a difference of at least 3 goals. In addition, The Gooners' defense has also played very focused when they have never conceded any goals from open play in the Champions League this year. In the Premier League, the recent victory over Wolves also helped Arsenal gradually return after a series of difficult matches at the beginning of the year. Obviously, the ambition to win both the Premier League and the Champions League is completely within reach of coach Mikel Arteta's army.
Meanwhile, Girona is a team that has left many disappointments in this Champions League season. They lost to Liverpool, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. The most recent defeat was a 0-1 loss to AC Milan in the last round. Coach Michel and his team have only won 1 match against Slovan Bratislava this season and this can be considered the end of their hope of continuing in the European Cup. Worse still, their attack has not shown its strength in this tournament, when they have not scored any goals in the last 4 defeats, this is what makes Girona completely likely to be the team with the worst performance this season if they do not have a better result in the match against Arsenal in the middle of the week. Not only have they played disappointingly in the European Cup, they have also shown weakness in La Liga.
