Girona vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

Atleti to sign off with a win

Atletico Madrid are booked for third place and can sign off the season with a win at Girona. The hosts have lost three of their last four home games in La Liga and Diego Simeone’s side can take advantage.

Atleti are 13 places and 32 points above Girona. The hosts sit 16th with 11 wins, eight draws and 18 defeats, while Atletico have won 21, drawn ten and lost six of their 37 games.

Atletico Madrid will be licking their lips at the prospect of facing a Girona defence that has
been far from solid. The hosts have failed to keep a clean sheet in 14 of their last 17 home games in La Liga, conceding an average of 1.44 goals per game in front of their own fans this season.

Backing Girona when they have been underdogs this season would have resulted in a 7.30-unit loss, with just two wins from their 16 games as an underdog.

Atletico Madrid beat Girona 3-0 last time they met in the Primera Liga but both sides scored in six of the previous eight. A 2-1 away win for Atletico Madrid looks a decent correct-score bet, with Girona having lost out by the odd goal in two of their last three league matches.
