Head-to-head statistics Real Madrid - Girona
Real Madrid Team Overview
⚪ It seems Florentino Perez may already regret hastily dismissing Xabi Alonso. Under Alonso's guidance, Real Madrid suffered 5 defeats in 28 matches, whereas Alvaro Arbeloa's tenure has seen 6 losses in just 19 games. In the domestic league, Real are rapidly losing ground in the title race, currently trailing the leaders by a significant 7 points. Let's take a look at the team's average performance metrics: 2.29 goals scored per game and 0.93 goals conceded.
📌 In the last round of La Liga, Real Madrid unexpectedly lost to Mallorca (1-2). Alvaro Arbeloa decided to rest some players, but it cost them valuable points. Los Blancos not only struggled to control the pace of the game but also failed to neutralize the Islanders' threats during transitions. The Spanish coach favors a 4-4-2 tactical formation, emphasizing quick transitions from defense to attack. The use of numerous vertical passes is something that was not permissible in Xabi Alonso's tactical approach.

Girona Team Overview
⚪ The fortunes of the "white and reds" are gradually improving. The team from the city of the same name has managed to overcome a significant playing crisis and solidify their position in the La Liga standings. Currently, Michel's side sit 12th, holding an 8-point cushion above the relegation zone. Let's take into account Girona's average performance metrics - they score 1.07 goals per game while conceding 1.47. The team's top scorer in this season's La Liga campaign is Vladyslav Vanat, who has netted 9 goals in 27 matches.
🔴 In the last round of La Liga, Girona secured a victory against a resilient Villarreal (1-0). This success further confirms that the "white and reds" are on the right track to fully emerging from their crisis. Michel's side not only managed to neutralize the attacking potential of the "Yellow Submarine," but they also looked slightly sharper in their attacking phases. Interestingly, Villarreal failed to register a single shot on target over the course of 90 minutes. The match was decided by an own goal from Pau Navarro just before halftime.

Latest news
Real Madrid
🎤 Midweek, Real Madrid suffered a home defeat to Bayern (1-2) in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. The Spanish coach commented on this setback: “We’re still in the game, that’s clear. We’re just one goal away. We can win on any field. Coming back from 0-2 would have been very difficult. We sat too deep, especially the wingers. It wasn’t our plan to sit back so much, which gave the opponent too much control. We lacked those moments with the ball when you need to take the game on yourself under pressure. I told my players about this. Their pressing is very aggressive.”
❌ In Real Madrid's injury list are Thibaut Courtois (thigh injury) and Rodrygo (knee injury). Additionally, Franco Mastantuono is unavailable due to suspension.
Girona
🎤 Girona's head coach Michel shared his thoughts on the 1-0 victory over Villarreal in La Liga's 30th round and discussed the condition of Ukrainian forward Vladyslav Vanat: “It was a balanced and tough match, but we managed to contain their counterattacks. We recalled how we lost 0-5 in the first match; back then, we were a broken team, but now we've turned things around and become a true team in every sense. This is the result of tremendous effort. Vanat's injury might be more serious as he felt pain in his leg. He could be sidelined for several weeks. Blind's condition worsened during the game; he knows his limits well, and his participation in the match at the Bernabeu isn't ruled out, although there are still four days until the game.”
❌ Among Girona's injured players are Juan Carlos (knee injury), Portu (knee injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury), and Vladyslav Vanat (leg injury).
⚽ Goal Prediction
Let's note that both clubs are adept at capitalizing on their offensive plays. This season, the average goals scored by each side are as follows: Real Madrid - 2.1, and the white-reds - 1.1. In the last 7 matches involving Real Madrid, there have been at least 3 goals scored. A well-founded betting option would be - total over 3 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Consider the average number of corners in head-to-head encounters between these teams, which is about 8.9 per game. In 4 out of the last 5 meetings, there were no more than 10 corners. Additionally, note the average corners conceded this season: Los Blancos - 3.5, and the white-reds - 5.3. We suggest the following bet - Real Madrid's individual total corners under 7.5.
🚀 Player Stats Bet
The return of Kylian Mbappe is fantastic news for everyone associated with Real Madrid. The French forward is an irreplaceable figure for the capital club and can single-handedly change the course of a match. His impressive stats in the current La Liga campaign speak volumes - 23 goals and 4 assists in 25 appearances. Editor's pick - Kylian Mbappe to score first at odds of 2.65*.
😱 Risky Bet
Girona traditionally poses challenges for Real Madrid. Their head-to-head clash in the first round of the league is further proof of this. Let's not forget that Los Blancos spent considerable energy midweek in their European encounter with Bayern Munich (1-2). Michel's side, however, is in great form and possesses the potential to secure a positive result. Editor's pick - Girona to win with a handicap (0) at odds of 6.56*.
👀 If the Match Doesn't Go as Planned
Could we witness a low-scoring game? The possibility remains. Under Alvaro Arbeloa's guidance, Los Blancos don't engage in overly spectacular or flamboyant football - they aren't averse to defending with a mid-block and developing their attacks patiently. Girona can adapt to this style of play. We suggest considering the following bet - both teams to score (no) at odds of 2.11*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor's Prediction
The "White and Reds" are in fine form and aim to pose a significant challenge to their formidable opponents. The schedule does not favor the "Whites," as the need to perform on two fronts significantly limits their potential in this crucial phase of the season. The coaching factor hasn't delivered yet either-Álvaro Arbeloa has already suffered more defeats in fewer matches than his predecessor. Our editorial team predicts a final score of 2-2. The key bet is Girona to win with a (+2) handicap.
