Athletic brought the lose-lose series to 13 matches. The disastrous results forced Toto Berizzo to resign. The correct decision, but a little incomprehensible position of the club, which itself was very passive in its conduct in this situation. Gaiska Garitano was appointed to replace him. Appointment of a new coach should shake the team, at least in most cases it helps. There are exceptions for which you do not need to go far, Huesca’s example is very fresh. To all the problems, they also added personnel. Almost the entire line of defense took off. There will be no Balances, Bercic, Martinez, Nolascoin, as well as Gani, Guruzety and Rico.

Girona remains the only team that did not lose on the road. Wards Sakristana excellent statistics and a very good track record of the teams that managed to pick up points. In the first row, of course, Barcelona, Villarreal, Sociedad, Valencia and Espanyol. In the last round, the team took Atletico and played very well. After a not very successful start of the match, Girona slowly began to create chances at the opponent's goal and moments very dangerous. And scored, thanks to the counterattack, during which, Oblak fouls in his own penalty box on Stuani, who executed the sentence. Atletico, in the second half, well pressed down and was able to recoup. There were moments with the "mattress" to completely snatch the victory, but Gorky Iraisos, who replaced Gorka, entered the game perfectly and did not let him do it. A fair set of points for the Catalans. By the way, Gorka will play in the ground against his former team, to which he gave 10 years of his career.
And what would you do with Athletics? The victory of the team must be caught and the beeches believe in it, because the Athletic class is no worse, just in a disassembled state. But at the same time, the Basques are as sad as Girona is. I think that it would be possible to stay in Bilbao, if not problems with the composition. I do not believe that with such problems the team will not miss. Girona in great shape, Stuani on fire, instead of Roberts will be Porto, so Girona should not lose. At this rate is quite decent.

Over the past week, the Basques managed to crush the Levante championship (0: 3), dismiss head coach Eduardo Berisso after that, assign Gaisk Garitano to his place, and then defeat Huesca (4: 0) in the King's Cup. However, a major victory over the outsider of La Liga should not be misleading as to the effect of changing the coach - Huescu was hit with the same score with the previous coach, but in the championship, the Basques are really bad. Already 13 matches in a row without a win and, as a result, - not a very honorable place in the relegation zone.
Girona is the opposite - the team has not played the bitterness of defeats for 8 matches in a row in all tournaments, and during this period she managed to take points in the championship from such teams as Atletico and Valencia. The Catalans are in the top eight teams in the championship table, and in the week they also entered the next stage of the cup, passing on the sum of two matches Alaves.

Better with Girona, the situation with the frames on the eve of the Monday fight. Three players in the infirmary - Aday Benitez, Marc Munez and Patrick Roberts, but Porto, the leader of the attack, returned to the ranks, and the attack of the Catalans, which was already impressive in recent weeks, will now become even more dangerous. But Bilbao has a lot of losses. Three players were immediately disqualified - the defenders Jüri and Iñigo Martínez, as well as the defender of Peru Nolascoain, who played the position of the centerback this season. Another defender Mikel Balenciaga was injured, and the defender Mikel Rico didn’t have time to recover. As you can see, all personnel losses in the Basques in protective positions.

A quick look at the last matches of "Athletics” does not give a complete picture of the state of the team. There are three victories there, but in two the shabby "Huesca” was defeated within the framework of the country's cup, another Victoria happened in a friendly match. But in the right matches just a disaster. "Basques” went down to the relegation zone and they will have a difficult second part of the season after the failed first. While there are no prerequisites for recovery.
In "Girona" all in openwork. After the past quite successful season, she started hard, but now everything has fallen into place. The game is a very nice team. She pleases the eye with her football, and most importantly, consistently collects points. 8 matches Catalans do not know defeat, and strictly alternate draws and victories. The jerk in the table was palpable. "Red-whites” do not have any particular weaknesses, at least at first glance. They have every reason to count on a further rise.
