Real Madrid vs Girona Prediction 23 February 2025
π In what physical condition will the "Merengues" approach the upcoming match? One of the most intriguing fixtures of the 25th round of La Liga is the clash between Real Madrid and Girona at the βSantiago Bernabeu.β Girona's inconsistent form casts significant doubt on the club's prospects of qualifying for European competitions next season. Pre-match predictions by bookmakers are also not in favor of the "white-and-reds": a victory for the hosts is at 1.28, while a win for the visitors is at 9.5.
Head-to-Head
In December of last year, the "Merengues" left no chances for the "Gironistes" at "Montilivi" - 3:0. Interestingly, only once in history have the "Red and Whites" achieved an away victory over Real - in the 2018/19 season (2:1).
Head-to-head statistics Real Madrid - Girona
Real Madrid Team Overview
The "Whites" had an exciting two-leg encounter with Manchester City in the Champions League playoffs. Carlo Ancelotti's squad proved to be more balanced and prepared for the increased pressure, setting the final score at 6-3 after both matches. However, things haven't been as bright in the national championship for the "Galacticos" lately, with no victories in the last three rounds. In the previous match, the Italian specialist once again utilized Federico Valverde in the right-back position. The versatility of the Uruguayan midfielder and his excellent passing ability have been a "lifeline" for Real in the crisis at this position. The tactical model of the Spanish giant doesn't feature any intricate elements, but sometimes Ancelotti's brilliant personnel management saves the day. A significant loss for the "Whites" ahead of the 25th round of La Liga is the suspension of Jude Bellingham, around whom a scandal erupted due to referee insults. Meanwhile, Dani Carvajal and Γder MilitΓ£o remain in the infirmary.

Girona FC Team Overview
Even after Girona's exit from the Champions League, the team has not become any fresher. In the clash with Getafe (1:2) in the last round, Michel's squad failed to create enough sharp moments at Soria's goal to achieve a satisfactory result. A tactical feature of "the Gironistes" lately is their active pressing on the opponent's half of the field, as well as creating a numerical advantage in the line controlling the ball. A key role in possession is played by Yangel Herrera, who also participates in the vast majority of transitions from defense to attack. The fact that the Venezuelan is forced to miss his team's upcoming match due to suspension casts significant doubt on the productivity of "the white-and-reds" on the opponent's half. Among the injured, Dutch forward Arnaut Danjuma still stands out. It is also worth noting the rather mediocre form of "the Gironistes" in away matches - 12 points after 12 games (12th result in the league).

β½οΈ GOAL PREDICTION
In recent seasons, matches between Real and Girona have garnered significant interest. In 9 out of the last 10 encounters, the teams have collectively scored at least three goals. Interestingly, the "white and reds" have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 11 head-to-head meetings. Both clubs have defensive issues and often make unforced errors during transition phases. Considering these points, we find the following event rational - total over 3 goals.
π© CORNER PREDICTION
Let's again focus on the head-to-head meetings. In 6 of the last 7 matches, there were no more than 10 corner kicks. Matches involving Girona this season also do not feature a significant number of corners - around 8.5 per game. This leads to the following event - total corners under 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Not only is Girona struggling to achieve the necessary result in away matches, but they have also never beaten Real at the βBernabeu.β The loss of Yangel Herrera, who is an indispensable player for the βwhite-and-redsβ in terms of building their attacking game, will also be a significant factor in determining the winner. The βMerenguesβ desperately need to break their unsuccessful streak and regain the leading position in the league table. Our editorial team predicts a home victory with a score of 3:1. The key choice is a Real victory with a handicap (-1.5).
