Second:Real Madrid distracted by Champions League away match against Bayern, likely to drop points at home against Girona! Real Madrid will face Bayern in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next midweek, playing away at the Allianz Arena. Real Madrid desire to overturn the result and advance, but it is extremely challenging. Therefore, Real Madrid will certainly rotate players to conserve energy for the Champions League away match against Bayern next midweek. In football, hesitation and indecision are problematic. Coupled with the slim chances in the La Liga title race and fatigue from playing twice a week, if well-rested Girona opts for a solid defensive and counter-attacking approach away, plus Courtois continuing to be injured and the defensive line unstable, Real Madrid may struggle to balance priorities, potentially dropping points again in this home match.

In the last 6 encounters between the two sides, Real Madrid have 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, holding the advantage.

Injury and suspension situations for both sides: Real Madrid haveCourtois, Rodrigo, Mastanton (suspended); Girona haveTer Stegen, Blind, Van de Beek, Wanat.
