Girona vs Liverpool Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
Liverpool have never played an official game against Girona in the UEFA Champions League and will need to adapt to a new opponent in the competition this week.
Girona are set to be the 13th different opponent from Spain that Liverpool are set to face in their history in the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool have won only two of their last 10 matches away from home against teams from Spain in European competitions but have secured both these victories in their last three such games.
Spanish teams are winless in their last seven matches against teams from England in the UEFA Champions League, with the previous such instance coming in Real Madrid's 3-0 victory against Chelsea in April 2023.
Liverpool are the only team to have won all their games in the UEFA Champions League this season
Prediciton: Girona 0-3 Liverpool
There is no doubting who the fresher set of legs will belong to on Tuesday, where Liverpool should make the most of their weekend break to put Girona to the sword without a hitch. The hosts are ruing the absence of critical attacker Tsygankov and have struggled to mix with the European elite this season, a theme that we cannot see changing against the UCL leaders.
