Atletico vs Girona Match Prediction

Atletico is the clear favourite in this confrontation. Odds for their victory in the range of 1.52-1.683 indicate about 61.5% probability of success. The Madrid club finished last season on a good note, winning 6 of their last 8 matches in the Primera. Although the Champions League exit was disappointing, Atletico have shown stability and class, remaining one of the top clubs in Spain.

Girona has much less chance of winning – 18.9% at odds of 5.05-6.0. However, this team impressed with a bright game in attack and several big wins at the end of last season. But defeats against direct rivals reduce the Girondins’ chances of a positive result on the road against Atletico.

The history of head-to-head meetings also speaks in favour of Madrid – 4 wins in 10 matches against 1 for Girona and 5 draws. Atletico scores more on average (1.9 goals per game against 1.4 for their opponents). Although last season the teams exchanged home victories, now Madrid looks objectively stronger.

Match prediction: Atletico won for 1.683. The most likely outcome is 2:0 or 2:1 in favour of the hosts.

Recent official meetings

Atletico

Atletico Madrid ended the 2023/24 season on a good note with 6 wins in their final meetings. However, two of the three defeats were very painful – 1:4 to Osasuna in the league and 2:4 to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The end of the Spanish championship “Matrasniki” was held confidently. After a misfire with Alaves (2:0), Diego Simeone’s team won 4 consecutive victories with a total score of 8:1. Especially important were the away “dry” with Getafe and Mallorca. These victories allowed Atletico to finish in the Champions League zone.

Unfortunately, Madrid was unsuccessful in the Euro arena. A 2-4 defeat to Borussia Dortmund left no chance of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. The Germans were objectively stronger and went further. Nevertheless, the very fact of reaching the quarter-finals can be credited to the Matrazniki.

The start of the new La Liga season began for Madrid with an away match against Villarreal. The “Yellow Submarine” is always an uncomfortable opponent, particularly at home.

Overall, the last 10 matches have shown that Atletico are still a top club capable of achieving the highest goals. The Champion’s League exit was a shame. But 6 wins in 8 matches in the Primeraire speak about the stability and class of the team. If they maintain their momentum, the Matras will have another successful season.

Girona

At the end of the 2023/24 season, Girona showed impressive attacking play and scored some emphatic victories. In the last 9 matches of last season, the team scored a total of 26 goals with 6 wins 2 losses and 1 draw.

The most memorable was the 7-0 defeat of Granada. “The Girondins tore apart the opponents’ defence, sending 7 unanswered goals into their gates. Major victories were also won over Valencia (3:1), Barcelona (4:2), Las Palmas (2:0) and Cadiz (4:1). These games showed the main trump cards of Michela’s side – fast, creative football and high realisation of chances.

But it was not without a spoonful of tar. Two defeats came in matches with direct rivals – Atletico (1:3) and Villarreal (0:1). Despite this, these failures did not affect the fight for a place in the Champions League zone. The final 3rd place at the end of the season was a great success for the modest club.

In the first round of La Liga 2024/25, Girona had a difficult trip to visit Betis. The result of the match:
