Madrid sit 2nd with 69 points from 30 games, boasting a +36 goal difference and imperious home form (13 wins from 15, 36 scored and just 12 conceded). Girona are 12th on 37 points, with a -12 goal difference and a mixed away record (3 wins, 6 draws, 6 defeats; 15 scored, 23 conceded). Form-wise, Madrid’s recent league phase run reads LWWWL, while Girona’s is WLWDL, underlining the hosts’ greater consistency.
Key Insight
Head-to-head in La Liga heavily favours Madrid: four wins and a draw in the last five meetings, including 2-0 and 4-0 home victories and two 3+ goal wins away. This season, Madrid have hit 64 goals in 30 matches (2.1 per game), compared to Girona’s 32 in 30 (1.1 per game), while conceding far fewer (28 vs 44). Kylian Mbappé (23 goals, 4 assists in 25 league appearances) and Vinícius Júnior (11 goals, 5 assists in 29) give the hosts elite firepower.
Team News and Verdict
Madrid are without T. Courtois, F. Mastantuono and Rodrygo. Girona miss R. Artero, Juan Carlos, Portu, V. Vanat and D. van de Beek, with D. Blind doubtful. With superior form, firepower and a weakened opponent, Madrid are strong favourites for a home win.
