Real Madrid is looking to extend their winning run with a win against Girona who looks to bounce back here. Madrid is currently in a four-game winning run, which makes them aim for a win here to make it five. Girona on the other hand is looking to win in this match, for them to bounce back from their loss on their last match. Madrid is from a 2-0 win against Celta Vigo, while Girona is from a 1-0 loss against Real Valladolid. While Madid is looking to just retain their spot, Girona is hoping to avoid relegation. Girona’s aim though is most likely possible considering their spot in the league table. This meeting will be on April 26, 2023, at 1:30 AM (GMT+8), with Girona as hosts.
From the last seven matches these two teams played, it was the visitors who has a good record compared to the hosts. The hosts were only able to record two wins from those matches, while the visitors has four wins. However, on their last meeting earlier this season, the hosts were able to hold the visitors in a 1-1 draw. When it comes to the league table, these two teams are actually far from each other. The hosts is sitting at the 11th of the league table with 38 points. The visitors on the other hand is sitting comfortably at the second of the league table with 65 points. Nonetheless, these two teams has the same goal for this match, which is to win this game.
Real Madrid
Madrid is currently sitting at the second of the league table with a comfortable 65 points across their names. With that points, they are currently with five points gap from the team at the third. However, since they are 11 points behind with the team at the top, a win here could just make them retain their spot. These records are not surprising though as they have been impressive this season. In fact, they are from a 2-0 win against Celta Vigo, giving them more confidence here. As they come into this game, Madrid is aiming for the same result in this match. Since they are an impressive team this season, Madrid have been a threat to all teams, including the team at the top of the league table. With that, expect Madrid to go all-out with their matches.
It is unfortunate that guys like David Alaba, and Ferland Mendy are all remaining in the sidelines because of their injuries. Dani Ceballos on the other hand is suspended in this match due to a booking on their last game. Fortunately, Toni Kroos, and Luka Modric could finally return in this match.
Girona
Girona is currently at the mid-table, sitting at the 11th of the league table with 38 points. However, a win in this match could make them climb the league table as much as to the ninth with 41 points. Since the squads before Girona are just leading by a point or two, a win here could make Girona take a leap in the league table. However, Girona have been dealing with inconsistencies all season, an issue they need to address. Additionally, they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Real Valladolid, which is why they want to bounce back in this match. However, it seems like they are doing well against Madrid. Although their opponent has a better record, they are a team who is capable of troubling Madrid. They already did this in the past and are aiming for the same result here.
Unfortunately, they will be without Borja Garcia, David Lopez, Joel Roca, Yangel Herrera, and Ibrahima Kebe in this match. Toni Villa, and Aleix Garcia are also expected to be unavailable here. Fortunately, Santiago Bueno, and Valentin Castellanos are back in this match, after serving their suspension.
