Champions League: Girona vs. Arsenal Picks — Gunners to Record Fourth Successive Win in UCL? (Jan 29)

The final round of Champions League matches in the league phase is set for this week. An away win will be a prominent selection when making Girona vs. Arsenal picks on Wednesday.

Mikel Arteta’s side come into matchday eight after winning each of their last three matches. Meanwhile, a fourth straight win could see them end the opening round in second place in the standings.

Girona’s debut showing in the Champions League is already effectively over, as they have lost six of their seven matches in the competition to sit 31st in the league standings.

Girona vs. Arsenal Prop Picks

Declan Rice could be an interesting selection when making Girona vs. Arsenal picks this week. The England international has scored once and registered three assists in 21 league matches this season.

His high-quality set-piece delivery has been a trademark for the Gunners this term, meaning that he could be the outstanding selection to register an assist on Wednesday.

Girona vs. Arsenal Picks

It has been a poor debut showing in the Champions League for Girona this season, and things aren’t likely to get any easier against Arsenal on Wednesday.

Girona’s inability to score goals means that we struggle to see them finding the net, and the preference is for the Gunners to win to nil on Wednesday.
