Maybe these 3 matches will really determine Girona's fate, whether they will continue to stay in second place or be shifted by Barcelona. The reason is, Barcelona in the next few weeks will also face opponents who are considered less strong. For that, Girona must be able to win.
I guess at the end of the season we will see Barcelona in second place in the table. The way GIrona lost their truck badly, they won't be able to hold on to second place in the table for long.
I do agree that Barcelona may get that second position, and Girona being third is not really bad for them. Imagine being a team that people saw you as top half at best, like 10th would be normal and if you finished 6th that would be great and you end up being third in that league.
I think while it is a sad thing to lose out on the title chances, which they had just a month or so ago, becoming a team that is third could feel bad, but we are also talking about a team who overachieved all their expectations. This is why I believe that we are going to end up with something that will take a while before people could see anything crazy, we should just consider the situation to be strong and not really have any issues at all.
But indeed, lately Girona has experienced instability in performance and results in each match and because of that, Girona will certainly fall to position 3 or maybe also position 4. Because anyway, if playing only against a team in the lower zone also Girona can be defeated, then at least there is still a possibility for Girona to get a few more defeats in the next matches. Also, considering that there are still Atletico and Bilbao there, then I think the rest of the season looks like Girona position is very threatened.
Therefore, at this moment ofcourse Girona will only strengthen the position in the top four because of course, it will be a good chance for Bilbao if Girona continues to get badresults . But indeed, if we consider the currentpoints and a few matches until the end of the season, it should be for Girona to be able to stay in the top four but indeed, any results can still happen to Girona at the end of this season.
