La Liga: Real Madrid vs Girona Live
La Liga gives us Real Madrid vs Girona this weekend at Bernabeu as the top two teams in La Liga will face off in a significant match on Saturday evening. Real Madrid have accumulated 58 points from 23 league games this season, leading the way in Spain’s top division. However, Girona, a surprise contender, are just two points behind Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they head into this upcoming match.
Los blancos has had an impressive season in the league, with 18 wins, four draws, and one loss in 23 matches, giving them 58 points and putting them at the top of the table. They are currently eight points ahead of third-placed Barcelona and 10 points ahead of fourth-placed Atletico Madrid. Girona has also had a remarkable campaign, with their only league defeat coming against Real Madrid.
Los blancos have not lost in the league since their defeat to Atletico Madrid in September. They recently came close to a win against Atletico, but conceded a late equalizer. Real Madrid has already won the Spanish Super Cup and is now focused on the Champions League, with a match against RB Leipzig coming up in the last-16 clash.
Many had anticipated that Girona’s performance would have declined by now, but the team has proven to be genuine contenders, keeping pace with Real Madrid for much of the season. Despite drawing two of their last four league games, including a 0-0 match against Real Sociedad, they have upcoming important matches, including a trip to Athletic Bilbao.
With Real Madrid’s focus shifting to the Champions League and Girona’s recent elimination from the Copa del Rey, the team can now fully concentrate on the league. Even if they fall short of winning La Liga, Girona is in a strong position to secure Champions League football for next season, a remarkable feat for a club in just their fourth season at this level. Girona, the top scorers in La Liga this season with 52 goals, finished 10th last season, but are expected to surpass that comfortably this season.
Head-to-head
Real Madrid gave Girona their only loss so far in this season of La Liga. Los Blancos defeated the Catalans 3-0 in the rematch in September last year. It’s worth noting that Girona had previously gone undefeated in three consecutive matches against Real Madrid, with two victories and a draw for the Catalan team.
Prediction
The upcoming game at Bernabeu promises to be an intriguing match between the top two teams in La Liga this season. Girona would likely be content with a draw before the game, and los blancos might also consider the same. However, we anticipate that Real Madrid’s higher quality will lead them to a close win in Saturday’s match in the capital.
