We predict Girona to win 2-1 against Atletico Madrid, and this is why. The hosts won four and drew one of their last five home La Liga matches, while the visitors have struggled on the road this season, having lost their last three La Liga trips. Plus they won 4-2 against Barcelona away from home, sending a warning that their bright start to the season isn’t a fluke.
For the Girona vs Atletico Madrid prediction, we say over 2.5 goals, and this is why. Two of Atleti’s last five away league matches may have ended with less than three goals, but this game could still produce three or more goals because three of Girona’s last five home league matches ended with over 2.5 goals.
Girona are unbeaten in their last five league matches, with three wins and two draws, including their 1-1 draw at Real Betis last month. They sit in the 2nd position in La Liga with 45 points (the same points as 1st-place Real Madrid) after 14 wins and three draws in 18 games.
Atletico Madrid struggled with consistency in the last few weeks, after they managed only two wins in their last five league matches. However, they ended the year with a tight 1-0 win over Sevilla at home, and the win helped them remain in the top four, in 3rd position with 38 points after 12 wins and 2 draws in 18 games.
