-----------------------------

Arsenal will continue their preseason preparations with an official friendly against Girona at Estadio Montilivi after opening the summer with a 3-0 win over MK Dons. Girona, meanwhile, head into the match with inconsistent preseason form as both sides look to build momentum for the new campaign.

Team Analysis:

Arsenal began preseason with a convincing 3-0 victory over MK Dons despite several World Cup absences, while continuing to explore new attacking signings ahead of the new season. Girona, now preparing for life in Spain's second division, have shown mixed preseason form and will face a difficult test against the Premier League champions.

Player Situation:

Arsenal have welcomed back several returning players, although injuries and World Cup absences continue to limit Mikel Arteta's defensive options ahead of the trip to Girona. The Spanish side are close to full strength, with only World Cup participant Azzedine Ounahi unavailable, while Donny van de Beek continues his comeback from a long-term injury.

Result Prediction:

Girona have enough attacking quality to challenge Arsenal, especially after their recent scoring displays in preseason. However, Arsenal's exciting young talents and new signing Christos Tzolis are expected to make the difference against a Girona side that has struggled defensively.

Predicted Result: Girona 1-2 Arsenal.
