Who else is monitoring Girona? I don't like what I am seeing now and it is looking like the champions league next season will slip through them. I just notice that with 7 matches to go, Athletic Bilbao can displace them if they win all their matches. Even though Girona is third in the league now, it is certain that Athletico Madrid will overtake them, leaving them to battle with Bilbao for a position at the champions league. This is a bad one for Girona considering that there was a time they were fighting to lift the La Liga title this season.
Girona faces Cadiz, a team they ought to win and secure their 3 points but I'm seeing that they will not find it easy winning Cadiz because the later is fighting to escape relegation.
Basically Girona still has a good chance to keep finishing in the topfour, because Girona is also still in third position so that makes Girona position basically safeenough. Indeed, there are still Atletico and also Bilbao who pose a threat to Girona but still, it is difficult to overtake Girona in third place when the season is nearing its end. Also, about Girona next match against Cadiz, although Cadiz is trying to get out of the relegation zone but still, based on quality also ofcourse Girona still has better quality than Cadiz. Therefore, I personally am still very confident that Girona will remain in the top four and thus, next season Girona will play in the Champions League.
Yes, I think there's a very big chance of Girona finishing in the top four with 7 matches left to be played in the league, despite Girona dropping form lately they are currently in the third place with a 4 points lead ahead of the 4th place team ATM and 8 points ahead of the 5th team in the league table Athletic Club this means that they can still finish 4th and qualify to the champions league next season even though they drop more points and ATM overtake them in the league.
Considering the next fixture between Girona and Cadiz, it's going to be a difficult game to predict after watching Barcelona struggle to get a 0:1 in over Cadiz in their last game in the league and seeing that Cadiz needs to increase their performance to get points to move out of the bottom place and to avoid being relegated, it's still difficult to pick Girona as the favorite in the since their performance has gradually dropped from the good form they had earlier in the league but surely they are already a champions league team for next season.
