Atletico Madrid
Atletico successfully entered the top four of the league table as they are now placed at the third spot with 45 points. Although they are already at the top four, they still need a win to hold on their spot. Currently, they are with the same points as the fourth spot, and the fifth spot is just three points away from them. Fortunately, they were able to improve their game, after dealing with inconsistencies in the past. Additionally, they are coming from a dominating 6-1 win against Sevilla on their last game. Coming into this game, they are hoping to achieve the same result to seal their top four spot.
Guys like Memphis Depay and Antoine Griezmann have been at their best on their previous game.

However, Reinildo, Rodrigo De Pail, and Sergio Reguilon all remains on the sidelines due to their injuries.
Girona FC
Girona is currently at the 12th spot of the league table with 30 points across their names. However, if they can manage to win in this match, they could climb up to the 10th spot in the league table. This is not impossible though as they are only one point behind the 11th, and two points behind the 10th in the league table. They are from a 3-2 defeat against Getafe on their last match, and are now aiming to bounce back to continue their run in the league. Getafe is currently winless against Atletico, a record they also want to end in this match. They can get confidence from the fact that they won three of their last five matches in the league.
