Cordoba team overview
Since returning from the third tier in 2024, Cordoba have had two mid-table La Liga 2 seasons and hope for a similar 2026/27 campaign. However, only two victories in six preseason matches suggest a much harder year. Last week, Cordoba opened the season with a 3-2 defeat on the road against Burgos CF. The teams were pretty even, and the guests probably deserved more, but eventually their poor defense cost them points. Now, Cordoba will welcome, on paper, the strongest team in the competition, Girona.
After the defeat in the opening La Liga 2 round, Cordoba's head coach, Ivan Ania, talked about the reasons for the loss. He said, "I think we deserved to take something away, if not the win. In the end, mistakes are punished. I think the three goals were more our fault than theirs; they were completely avoidable. The feeling is that the team did many things well, but even scoring two away goals wasn't enough to get any points."
Cordoba have some injury problems. They will be without Adilson, Salim El Jebari, Franck Fomeyem, and Marti Jacobo on Friday night against Girona.

Girona team overview
After four seasons in La Liga, Girona were relegated to the second level of Spanish football. They are probably the best team in the competition and could bounce back with promotion. However, Girona won only once in six preseason matches. Also, last weekend, Quique Alvarez's team played only 1-1 at home against Leganes. The hosts dominated, as they had xG of 2.09, while the guests had only 0.58, but that wasn't enough for all three points.
Girona didn't win in the La Liga 2 opening round, but head coach Quique Alvarez was still satisfied. He commented, "We played to win, but we weren't clinical enough. We got a point that might leave a bitter taste, but it's positive. It strengthens the team and the work we've done. There were some very positive things. It leaves a bitter aftertaste, but it gives you the satisfaction of knowing you've done things well."
Azzedine Ounahi and Portu are unavailable for the trip to Cordoba.
