The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Girona lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday. Both teams have good players in their ranks and will want to win this game.
Girona are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Catalan outfit slumped to a damaging 2-1 defeat at the hands of Getafe last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in third place in the league table at the moment and have been in impressive form over the past year. Los Blancos thrashed Manchester City by an admirable 3-1 margin in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
Real Madrid have been fairly impressive in La Liga this season but have stuttered on a few occasions in recent weeks. With Barcelona and Atletico Madrid ahead of them in the title race, Los Blancos cannot afford to put a foot wrong in this fixture.
Girona have been uncharacteristically poor this season and will need to play out of their skins to stand a chance this weekend. Real Madrid are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.
Prediction: Real Madrid 4-1 Girona
Tip 1: Result - Real Madrid to win
Tip 2: Game to have over 2.5 goals - Yes
Tip 3: Real Madrid to score first - Yes
