Madrid are under pressure after back-to-back defeats, including a 2-1 home loss to Bayern Munich that leaves them close to UEFA Champions League elimination and another 2-1 defeat at Mallorca that dented their title push.
However, they remain strong at home, winning 10 of their last 12 matches. Girona come in confident, with two wins in their last three games, including impressive victories over Villarreal and Barcelona.
They also held Madrid to a 1-1 draw earlier this season. Still, their away form is a concern, as they are winless in five games on the road, with just three wins in 15 away league matches.
Real Madrid come into this match under pressure after back-to-back defeats in all competitions, losing 2-1 to Bayern Munich and 2-1 to Mallorca. Despite those setbacks, their overall form remains strong, with four wins in their last six matches.
In their previous five games, they have scored 11 goals while conceding seven, highlighting their attacking strength but also defensive vulnerability.
They currently sit second in La Liga with 69 points, seven behind leaders Barcelona, meaning little margin for error in the title race.
At home, Real Madrid have been dominant, winning 10 of their last 12 matches and 13 of 15 league games this season at the Bernabeu.
However, clean sheets have been rare, with none in their last five matches and just one in their previous ten.
Team news sees key absentees, including Thibaut Courtois, Rodrygo, and Ferland Mendy, while Aurelien Tchouameni is available domestically.
Key players remain Kylian Mbappe, who leads the scoring charts with 23 goals, and Vinicius Junior, providing pace and creativity in attack.
Girona arrive in mixed but competitive form, recording two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. Their latest result, a 1-0 win over Villarreal, showed their ability to compete against strong opposition.
Across their last five matches, Girona have scored six goals and conceded five, indicating a balanced but not overly prolific attack. They currently sit 12th with 37 points, comfortably eight points above the relegation zone.
Away form is a concern for Girona, as they are winless in their last five away matches, losing twice in that run. In 15 away league games this season, they have managed just three wins, which could prove decisive against a strong home side.
Injury concerns include Portu, Donny van de Beek, and Juan Carlos, while Vladyslav Vanat is a doubt. Key players include Vanat, their top scorer with nine goals, and Viktor Tsygankov, who contributes creatively from midfield.
The head-to-head record strongly favours Real Madrid, who have been unbeaten in their last five meetings with Girona, winning four of them.
The reverse fixture earlier this season ended in a 1-1 draw, but Madrid have historically dominated this matchup, often winning by comfortable margins.
Key Pointers;
- Girona failed to score twice in their last 13 matches
- Real Madrid have won 10 of their last 12 home matches
- In seven of Real Madrid’s last 10 games, both teams scored
- Girona are winless in their last five away outings, losing twice
- Real Madrid are unbeaten in five games against Girona, winning four
Given the attacking qualities of Real Madrid and their urgency in the title race, they are clear favourites. However, Girona’s scoring consistency and Madrid’s defensive issues point towards both teams finding the net.
Prediction: Real Madrid win with Both Teams to Score
