Atlético Madrid - Girona predictions

Atlético Madrid should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Girona can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

At 3.65 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Girona are well aware of it themselves.

Atletico Madrid’s performance against Villarreal in the previous round was not quite convincing and few can call it spectacular. A lead in the first half led into a narrow 1:2 away victory.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Real Betis, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 4.80. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 3:2.

Los Rojiblancos’s recent performances have raised some questions about their defence. They conceded 6 goals throughout their latest three La Liga matches and betting on Over 4.5 seems like a reasonable option.

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

The home team in this game are one of the best-placed teams in the current standings, which will likely send them to the Champions League before the season is over. However, the competition around the top is fierce, and Girona are not an easy mark for earning extra points.

Girona are just 10 points behind the current leaders, and they’ll be fighting hard to catch up while there’s still time. They’ll be highly motivated, but this matchup will still be an uphill battle for them. Moreover, they’re in a Champions League qualifying spot, and they’ll have to be careful not to lose it.

The last time we saw these two squads play against each other was earlier in this La Liga season. Atletico Madrid narrowly lost. With the home-field advantage on their side this time, however, most bookies see them as the favourites.

Thomas Lemar, Hermoso, Memphis Depay will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.70, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
