Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the La Liga match.
Girona
Prior to their narrow 1:0 win over bottom-placed Real Valladolid in the penultimate round, Girona had yet to secure their status in La Liga. Across 37 league matches, Girona have conceded 56 goals — only Las Palmas (59) and Real Valladolid (87), both already relegated, have worse defensive statistics. On home turf, Girona have collected just 24 points — tied for the sixth-worst home record in the league, alongside Sevilla.
Atlético Madrid
Atlético Madrid’s commanding home wins over Real Sociedad (4:0) and Real Betis (4:1) underlined their re-energised attacking form. Julián Alvarez (17+3) and Alexander Sørloth (17+2) both sit among La Liga’s top seven scorers. At the other end, Jan Oblak remains in contention for the league’s best goalkeeper — Atlético Madrid have conceded just 15 goals in 18 away matches, the strongest defensive record on the road.
Girona vs Atlético Madrid Prediction
Since October 2022, Girona have lost four of their last five meetings with Atlético Madrid — conceding six goals in their two most recent encounters (1:3 and 0:3). A win for Atlético Madrid appears the most probable outcome.
