Summary
Lineups
H2H

After three consecutive games without a win, Real Madrid is gearing up for a crucial match.


The hosts have regained key defensive players, including Rüdiger, and showed their resilience against Manchester City, proving they remain a formidable force. At home, they have been outstanding throughout the campaign, boasting the second-best record with 28 points and suffering just one defeat—against Barcelona.


Girona, on the other hand, has struggled this season after losing several key players. Their campaign has been further hampered by injuries, and for this match, they could be without three key players—Herrera, who is suspended, while main striker Abel Ruiz remain doubtful due to injuries. Their away form has also been shaky, with just one win in their last five matches, which came against relegation-threatened Alavés.


Last season’s head-to-head clash ended in a comfortable 4-0 victory for Real Madrid, and a similar outcome is expected here.


Notable absences for Real Madrid include Jude Bellingham, who is suspended after receiving a red card in the last match, while Carvajal and Militão remain out with long-term injuries.

What we say

Real Madrid to Win


The home side is the clear favorite in this matchup, facing a Girona team that has struggled against top-six opponents. They suffered a 3-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao, drew 2-2 with Villarreal, and lost 3-0 to Atlético Madrid.


With Girona missing key attacking players, Real Madrid’s defense should have little trouble containing them, paving the way for a comfortable victory. Given the disparity in form and squad depth, a win by a margin of more than one goal for Real Madrid seems highly likely.
