Athletic is in 7th place in the league table, showing inconsistent play but maintaining a strong home tradition. Athletic Club started the new season well, but then suffered two defeats to Alavés and Valencia, as well as a home defeat to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League.
The visitors are in last place, with the worst record in the league—just one point and a goal difference of 2:15 after five matches. It seems we will no longer see the same Girona side that was in the LaLiga title race and qualified for the UEFA Champions League just a couple of years ago.
Both teams are in poor form, but Athletic Club still looks better at home compared to Girona.
