Atletico Madrid vs Girona Prediction

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid collected one of each from their previous three matches, as they were defeated 1-4 against Osasuna. They retaliated in a 0-2 win against Real Sociedad, before drawing 2-2 with Villarreal. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for Atletico Madrid but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six LaLiga matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring ten goals while conceding ten.

The big goal of the season for Atletico Madrid is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming LaLiga season.

Girona Form

Girona look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining two victories and a draw. They ran out 1-3 and 7-0 winners against Valencia and Granada, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Real Betis, as the match resulted in a 1-1 draw. Girona won twice, while also recording two draws, and two defeats in their last six away matches in the LaLiga. The scoreline from these matches says eight goals conceded and nine scored.

The big goal of the season for Atletico Madrid is naturally winning the title, and a place inside the top two at least should be possible in the upcoming LaLiga season.

In current form, it is very difficult to argue against Atletico Madrid claiming yet another win. Girona don't look strong enough right now to push their hosts to dropping points.
