Match preview: Girona vs Atletico Madrid
90-minute odds: 3/4 : 0
Total goals: 2 3/4
Montilivi Stadium will witness a one-sided encounter between Girona (18th place, 15 points) and Atletico Madrid (4th place, 34 points). While the home team battles in the relegation zone, Diego Simeone’s side is energetically chasing the top spots.
Girona is going through a very difficult season after surprising last year. Currently placed 18th, they face relegation threats. However, Girona gained good momentum by beating Real Sociedad 2-1 in the previous round. The Catalan club usually performs fairly well at home with 11 points from 8 matches. Still, a long injury list is the biggest barrier preventing coach Michel’s team from maintaining stability.
Girona vs Atletico Madrid
Atletico Madrid is in excellent form with a streak of 3 consecutive wins across all competitions. They recently reached the Copa del Rey round of 16 after a 3-2 win over Baleares and defeated Valencia 2-1 in La Liga last week. Currently 9 points behind league leaders Barcelona, Atletico knows they cannot afford to slip against lower-ranked teams. The head-to-head record also clearly favors the visitors, as Atletico won both meetings last season with dominant 3-0 and 4-0 victories.
In every aspect—from form and squad to class—Atletico Madrid is completely superior. Although Girona will try hard to defend to earn points at home, the attacking strength of Julian Alvarez and his teammates is expected to help the capital club leave with a victory.
