Christian Stuani will play this Saturday against Eibar. The Uruguayan striker, who is one yellow card away from completing his cycle, managed to finish last day, against Valladolid, without seeing a card, and for this reason he will be available for Míchel. Stuani saved all the protests and tried not to make unnecessary fouls that could cost him a yellow card. And it is that he did not want to miss the duel against the gunsmiths because he has it marked in red on your calendar. Beyond the fact that it is possibly the last option that Girona has left to be able to get hooked on the fight for direct promotion (currently Almería, second, is ten points away), the Uruguayan has the thorn in his side that Eibar is one of its black beasts. They have met in six games and the balance is only one win and five losses.
The only joy that Stuani has reaped against Eibar was the 2014-15 season when he wore the Espanyol shirt. He scored and the parakeet block won 2-0. Only that time he smiled because in the following matches they all came up tails. He is on a five-game losing streak in the last five games and it hurts. In addition, they have all been with the Girona shirt and each more painful. He was close to ending the bad luck in the 2018-19 season, in the First Division, because he signed a double, but there was no way and Eibar won 2-3 after goals from Charles, Arbilla and Sergi Enrich. This course, in the first round, he scored a penalty, although it was again without effect because the gunsmiths, in Ipurua, won 4-2.
This Saturday’s match will be a beautiful battle in Montilivi and Girona arrive in high spirits after adding four points out of the last six possible after facing direct rivals such as Ponferradina (3-0) and Valladolid (2-2). It will not be a game to spare efforts and it is expected that Girona will not have to pay an excessive toll. At the moment what is certain is that the squad is on yellow alert because up to four players are on sanction. In addition to Stuani they are Santi Bueno, Álex Baena and Ramón Terrats. If they see a card they will not be able to play on Sunday the 27th against Leganés in Butarque.
