Atletico Madrid are into third after a fantastic return to winning form ahead of their visit to the Estadi Montilivi where Girona are looking to get back into the top half of La Liga after a return to losing ways last time out.
It’s been a strange season for Girona in 2022/23. They continue to struggle to win two games on the spin, although they are heading into this one in 11th and within touching distance of the top 10 once more. At the same time, they remain completely unpredictable.
Girona are behind Mallorca in 10th by just one point and as fans may begin to eye up a spot in the top six European spots, the club now head into this game with just a seven-point gap against Villarreal after their drop in form too.
Girona continued to be involved in incredibly high-scoring games with more than 15 goals going in at either end in the past four games alone. They did, however, lose to strugglers Girona last time out and went 3-0 down inside the first half.
Valentin Castellanos scored once more that day, as Miguel Gutierrez gave fans believe they could leave the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium with a point, but the game ended in a 3-2 loss.
Girona beat Athletic Club just before this in what was arguably their best and most important away result of the season so far, and this also came soon after a stunning 6-2 victory over Almeria that saw six different scorers get in on the act for the club.
As for Atletico, their form has turned around greatly in the past few weeks and they head into this one having only dropped points to rivals Real Madrid in the league following on from a 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The club are now up into third and ahead of Real Sociedad after a sensational 6-1 win at home to Sevilla. It was the biggest result of the season for the club, as Memphis Depay scored twice inside two minutes at one stage in the first half - this was his first brace for the club.
Antoine Griezmann also scored that day, as Yannick Carrasco netted another goal before a late brace from Alvaro Morata.
Forebet predicts a win for Atletico on the road in this one and for the game to see over 2.5 goals with the club expected to hang onto third.
