Teams like Girona and Bologna are not teams that often play in the Champions League so their level of play will be very different, even though both of them played well in their respective leagues last season. As we know, the Champions League is very competitive and the competition here is quite big so it will be difficult for them to qualify for the next stage. Every season there will definitely be one team that is quite surprising but when entering the next season most of them lose their best form.
Without having experienced players it will be much harder to play in the Champions League and even we see how strong teams that often play in the league also have difficulty facing the tight competition. I don't think both of them will easily get through the group phase because there will be quite tight competition from the opponents they will face.
Yes, it's been a long time since Bologna appeared in the Champions League and according to the news I read, Bologna last appeared in the Champions League in the 1964-1965 season and of course now Bologna will compete in the Champions League again and of course it will definitely be a valuable experience in the 2024-2025 season. after a long time Bologna did not participate in the Champions League.
Meanwhile, Girona has never competed in the Champions League and this is certainly a valuable experience for Girona in the coming season because they will compete in the Champions League and Girona's first experience of entering the Champions League.
In Serie A, of course Bologna playing well, as is Girona, who performing well in Laliga, but of course they will have the potential to have difficulty winning in the UCL because of course the teams that enter the UCL are all strong teams. but I'm sure Girona and Bologna of course I also see that they are strong teams and definitely have the privilege to make them enter the UCL. and I am sure Bologna and Girona will appear confident in the upcoming UCL match. and in my opinion it is not impossible that Bologna and Girona will perform well and qualify for the next round.
I personally also predict that it will definitely not be easy for Girona and Bologna to get through from the group phase to the next round, but I am sure that one of them will make it to the next round and honestly I idolize Girona who makes it to the next round.
