H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Atletico Madrid Team Overview
🔴 This season has been far from ideal for Los Colchoneros. Not only did the Madrid side drop out of the title race early, but they also fell just short of reaching the Champions League final. At present, Diego Simeone’s men sit fourth in the La Liga standings, having secured a spot in next season’s premier European competition. On average, Atlético have netted 1.67 goals per match while conceding 1.08-figures that reflect their solid, if unspectacular, campaign.
⚪ In midweek action, Atlético traveled to El Sadar and came away with a 2-1 win-goals from Ademola Lookman and Alexander Sørloth proved decisive. However, throughout the contest, Simeone’s squad showed clear signs of fatigue: their transitions from defense to attack were sluggish, and positional errors were all too frequent. What tactical adjustments the Argentine manager will employ in the remaining fixtures remains to be seen. Alexander Sørloth stands as Atlético’s top scorer in this La Liga campaign, with 13 goals in 33 appearances.

Girona Team Overview
⚪ The “White and Reds” are throwing everything they have into their fight to avoid relegation to the Segunda. With just two rounds left in the campaign, Míchel’s side sit a single point clear of the drop zone. However, Girona’s recent form does little to reassure their supporters - they have failed to win any of their last six matches. The team’s average numbers this season also paint a worrying picture: they score just 1.06 goals per game while conceding 1.47. Now is the time for Girona to dig deep, grind out crucial points, and show their fighting spirit.
🔴 Just days ago, Girona managed to snatch a vital point at home against Real Sociedad (1-1). That draw lifted them out of the relegation zone and into 15th place in the table. For Míchel, securing La Liga survival is a top priority - and with speculation mounting that the Spanish coach could depart at the end of the season, there’s added pressure. Ajax are reportedly interested in his services. Vladyslav Vanat remains Girona’s main attacking threat in this La Liga campaign, having scored 9 goals in 27 appearances.

Latest news
Atletico Madrid
❌ The capital side are grappling with a host of personnel issues. Most recently, Marcos Llorente picked up a suspension after being sent off against Osasuna. It’s highly likely that Los Colchoneros won’t risk the fitness of Julián Álvarez, as he’s determined to be fully fit for the World Cup. The club has also kept Pablo Barrios’ recovery timeline under wraps after the Spaniard suffered a thigh injury back in late April. Johnny Cardoso’s injury is even more severe-the American midfielder isn’t expected back until the start of next season. On top of that, Nahuel Molina and José María Giménez both picked up knocks in recent matches. The involvement of Nico González, Giuliano Simeone, and Rodrigo Mendoza this season remains highly doubtful.
Girona
❌ Girona are dealing with a major personnel blow as Vladyslav Vanat has been sidelined for 10 to 12 weeks due to injury. Although he has returned to training, Donny van de Beek is also unlikely to feature-head coach Míchel confirmed the Dutchman is still not at peak fitness. Meanwhile, Portu is expected to make his comeback only at the start of next season. The Spanish forward resumed light training on grass at the end of April, but he remains in the rehabilitation phase.
⚽ Goals Prediction
It’s telling that recent head-to-head clashes between Atletico and Girona have consistently produced goals-at least three in each of their last five meetings. It’s also worth noting the average scoring rate for both sides in this La Liga campaign: Los Colchoneros average 1.67 goals per match, while the Red and Whites are at 1.06. With those stats in mind, a well-founded pick would be to back over 2.5 total goals at odds of 1.72*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Five of the last six encounters between these teams have featured no more than ten corners. This trend also holds true for most of their recent individual matches this season. Looking at their average corners conceded in La Liga, Atletico allow 4.2 per game, while Girona concede 5.2. Given those numbers, a logical selection is under 9.5 total corners at 1.55*.
🚀 Player Stats Bet
This match marks Antoine Griezmann’s final appearance at Wanda Metropolitano. The Frenchman has spent five seasons with Los Colchoneros since his return and leaves as a true club legend. Expect him to get enough minutes on the pitch for a proper send-off in front of the home crowd. A compelling bet here is Antoine Griezmann to score anytime at 2.6*.
😱 High-Risk Bet
In our view, the Red and Whites might fall victim to their own ambition. No matter how you look at it, Atletico have greater resources and will be eager to finish their home campaign on a high note. That could lead to positional mistakes from the visitors, potentially resulting in last-ditch fouls. Our editorial pick: Atletico to score their first penalty at 5.5*.
🎯 Reliable Bet
It’s crucial to focus on the hosts’ strengths here. Despite Girona’s passion and determination, facing Diego Simeone’s well-drilled side at Wanda Metropolitano is a daunting challenge. Even during their best spells, Girona have struggled to get results away against Los Colchoneros. Our recommended play: Atletico double chance (win or draw) at 1.25*.
👀 If the Game Doesn’t Go as Planned
There remains a possibility of a low-scoring affair. Atletico’s injury issues and Girona’s struggles in possession play could contribute to a more cautious match. The visitors are desperate for points, so a defensive approach might suit them. In that scenario, we suggest under 3 total goals at 1.7*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editors' Prediction
When setting the main betting line, it’s crucial to factor in head-to-head history and current statistical trends. In most of the key areas discussed above, Los Colchoneros appear to have the upper hand. On top of that, Diego Simeone’s side are determined to bid Antoine Griezmann farewell with a victory. Our editorial team predicts a final score of 2-1 and backs the following outcome - Atletico to win.
