Newcastle

Newcastle continues to prepare for the new season, in which they will clearly try to solve more serious problems than the year before. Then the Magpies returned to the European Cup, and therefore were just getting used to the performance on two fronts, and numerous injuries prevented them from showing a good result. Now they will not play on the international stage, and therefore will focus on English competitions. In the off-season, the Black and Whites actively worked on the renewal of the squad. Many veterans left the club, Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh were sold for a lot of money, and from the signings it is worth noting Odysseas Vlachodimos, Lloyd Kelly and Lewis Hall, who was bought from Chelsea.

Girona

Girona is the author of the main sensation in the past draw of the Spanish Primera. The Catalans have never finished higher than tenth place in the national championship before, but last season they competed with Real Madrid for a long time for the championship, and then, although they slowed down, they finished third in the standings and got a ticket to the Champions League. Another thing is that after such a successful performance it is extremely difficult to keep the squad. Eric Garcia, Jan Koutou, Savio, Pablo Torre, each of whom was an important player for the Red-Whites, left the club on loan. Artyom Dovbik, the best scorer in the Primera, was sold.

Expert Betting Tips

Newcastle with mixed success spent a tour of Australia and Asia, but now the pre-season preparation comes to the finish line, and therefore they returned home and ready to take on the field of St James Park Spanish Girona. Eddie Howe's men play traditionally well at their own stadium: in the last six meetings in EPL, they have picked up 14 out of a possible 18 points - an excellent result. Girona set a club record last season by finishing in third place, but many key players left the team in the summer, so it will be hard to maintain the same quality of play.
