La Liga Girona injury situation is worrying, Betis is looking to grab points, Crystal Palace vs Brighton.
Spanish league: Betis vs Girona, it was a good match.
Friday: 23-12-22-22:30
Analysis of the situation on the field:
In recent days, Betis has lost one after another, with six wins, nine draws and two defeats, ranking 7th in the league. Since December, several of Betis' core players have been in decline, not only have they been lower and lower in the league, but they have also performed very poorly in the Champions League, although their manager is making substitutions and strategic changes to restore their attacking and defensive capabilities, but their strength has not fully recovered, and they are now eight points behind Barcelona, and it is almost impossible to break into the top four in the short term.
But why did Betis lose her power?And more importantly, the outcome of this war. Everyone knows that Betis' backline is not perfect, as long as the core players of the team do not need to play, and their core players can ensure that they are competitive in the Premier League. But since December last year, Betis have been in a state of third-line operation, their core has not been given enough rest, so injuries in intensive games are also a common thing, 433's charge is physically demanding on athletes, they cannot rely on running off the ball and blocking in midfield to create more attacking opportunities, so it is natural that their results are not ideal.
For Betis, this game is followed by his long Christmas break, at which point he should be able to recover from injury and despite facing the UEFA Cup and Copa del Rey next up, they still have a chance of reaching the last four if their management handle it properly.
Girona are now the favourites to win the title, with fourteen games, two draws and one defeat to sit top of the table. Girona's quality this season, I think most fans recognise, his strong pressing in midfield, forcing the opposition to make some inefficient passes in their own half, and then using a very dangerous way, after getting the ball, to launch a continuous attack, is the most important strategy for Girona to win this season. This style of play is not uncommon, and it is common for giants such as Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Manchester City to play in the Premier League and various competitions, while Girona has no superstars and a good midfielder with good ball control, which is why Girona has shown a high level of competitiveness in the Spanish football market.
It has to be said that Girona is currently facing a lot of problems, because Girona does not have enough substitutes on the bench, and as the game progresses, the number of injuries is increasing, and now there are more than six players injured, Girona will have to invest more talent in the winter transfer market if they want to impact the Premier League to ensure their rotation. Coupled with the team's excellent performance in the league, many strong teams are eyeing Girona's core players, if the winter transfer period opens, Girona's players will definitely be poached by other clubs, and if their core members leave, it means that their defense and defense will be affected.
Match Analysis: Betis claimed two wins in both games last season and took six points from Girona. Betis have won nine of the last ten rounds and drawn one, and he has a big mental advantage. Girona's performance this season is indeed impressive, whether it is attack or defense, it can put a lot of pressure on them, but Betis are the Spanish giants after all, their defense in the first two games has begun to pick up, plus Girona's injury is as serious as Betis, plus after this game, Betis should play a winning momentum on their home turf and try to get three points in Girona's hands.
Premier League: Crystal Palace vs Brighton.
Event: Friday, March 1222, 2020 0:00.
Analysis of the situation on the field:
They have not been in good form in recent times, with four wins and eight defeats and are in fifteenth place. Although they haven't tasted a single game in their last six games, they haven't felt any pressure in the early stages. In the past month, none of the Premier League teams have chosen to play against them, but because their attack and defense are good, and there is nothing special happening during the Christmas period, their points are relatively average, but their management is obviously not happy with their results, they have heard that there is going to be a change of manager, but they have not been recognized by any good coaches, their quality is at the average level in the league, which is completely inconsistent with those coaches who want to win the league title。
From my point of view, the last Premier League game was against a very weak team, which made the players of Crystal Palace full of confidence, you know, their overall strength is much stronger than Crystal Palace, even if Haaland, De Bruyne and other core players are injured and absent, they cannot occupy an absolute advantage like Crystal Palace, but although Crystal Palace only has five chances to score, they played a beautiful attack in the second half, which put them into a state of frenzy.
Brighton haven't been in great form in recent times and they currently sit in 9th place in the league with five games coming in draws. Brighton's performance in the final game has not been as good as it could have been, and the gap between the other teams competing for the top four is getting wider, and many opponents in the league have spotted Brighton's defensive methods, making it difficult for them to create more chances in this way. However, Brighton do not think that this team can turn the current situation around, after Caicedo left, Brighton's midfield position has a problem, in the Premier League, the most important thing is to possess the ball, if this position is lost, then this team will no longer have any advantage, plus Caicedo is not there, this team must focus all its energy on the winter transfer market.
Match analysis: Last season, they drew with Brighton, losing one and losing one. In the past ten rounds, they have also suffered a big loss, losing two. Crystal Palace's overall quality is a bit worse than Brighton's, especially in the midfield, but this time, their attacking style has changed a lot, both in attack and defence, the last draw against Manchester City has given their players a big boost in morale and self-confidence, Brighton's performance in the first two games has been average, they think this time, they should continue to play well, using their midfield organisation and excellent defensive and counter-attacking ability to get three points from Brighton。
