An intriguing clash awaits us this weekend when Atletico Madrid and Girona meet on the second day of the 2024-25 La Liga season.
Atlético Madrid have been unable to replicate the form that saw them win La Liga in 2020-21. Los Colchoneros have finished third and fourth in the last three seasons but they will be looking to turn things around this term. Unfortunately, they started the new campaign on the wrong foot, drawing 2-2 with Villarreal last week.
Girona were a sensation last season. The visitors qualified for the Champions League with a second-place finish and will be keen to replicate that form this term even without some of their big names. Míchel's side also started the new campaign with a draw, but the spirit of last season was evident as they battled back from a six-minute deficit to equalise in the second half.
Atletico Madrid vs Girona Betting Tips: Atletico to win & Both teams to score
When it comes to games at the Civitas Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid are not to be underestimated and they proved it last season. Diego Simeone's side had the joint-best home record in the Spanish top flight last term, winning 16 of their matches and scoring an average of two goals per game.
Girona finished third in the away league table last season and also scored plenty of goals on the road. In fact, the visitors scored more goals away from home than any La Liga team apart from Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Girona have also scored five times in their last two meetings with Los Colchoneros.
