After a series of three consecutive defeats, the Deportivo Alavés finds himself facing a worrying situation, including a blatant lack of realism in front of the goal. Coach Ernesto Vaverde highlighted this difficulty, noting that the team scored only one goal in five championship and Champions League matches. He expressed the need to find solutions to convert opportunities into goals, while recognizing the importance of the trust that goals bring to attackers. Vaverde also highlighted the need to improve the quality of passes, centers and decisions in offensive phases, stressing that the club lacks strength and precision in its overall game.

The concern grew around the team, with few people in Bilbao believing in a victory over Girona FC. This pessimism is not based on arrogance, but on the recent form of the Deportivo, which suffered defeats against teams such as the Deportivo Alavés, Arsenal and Valencia CF. The team lost track of its first three wins early in the season and a loss to Girona FC could signal an open crisis. Girona FC, on the other hand, is in a free fall, with a dynamic of play and negative results since the beginning of the year. The team conceded an alarming number of goals and became a serious candidate for relegation, despite its status as co-leader of the standings.

Girona FC’s situation is of particular concern, with a disastrous record in the second half of the season and a lack of significant reinforcements during the last mercato. This weakness could be felt during Tuesday’s match in Bilbao, where the team will have to face an Alavés determined to pull himself together. Girona FC’s free fall contrasts with its exceptional course in the Champions League the previous year, and highlights the club’s difficulties in maintaining a high level of performance. This raises questions about the club’s sustainability and its ability to achieve its objectives, given its shortcomings and increased competition in Liga.
