Girona vs Atletico Madrid prediction 21.12.2025 | La Liga

After a magnificent 2023/24 season, Girona have been absolutely terrible in the following season, barely securing survival. This season, the Catalan team is having another bad season, and it seems they will battle against relegation again. After 16 rounds, Girona are in 18th place with 15 points - only 0.94 points per game. For example, last season teams needed 40 points to secure survival, and Girona are on pace to win only 36 this season. 

One of the problem for their poor results are constant injuries. For the upcoming game, they could have up to eight players. Most of them aren't among the key ones, but it's still an obvious problem. Also, for the upcoming game, the team will be without Thomas Lemar, who is on loan from Atletico Madrid.

After winning their 11th La Liga title in the 2020/21 season, Atletico Madrid have been either the third- or fourth-best team in Spain. This season, the situation is unchanged as they are currently sitting in fourth place with 34 points in 17 rounds. However, the fifth-placed Espanyol are only four points away, and Los Colchoneros have played one game more. Besides their solid La Liga campaign, Colchoneros are doing a great job in the Champions League, where they should easily secure a place in the 1/8 Finals. At the moment, they are in 8th place and will have two fairly easy games vs Galatasaray and Bodo/Glimt.

In the previous game against Baleares, Clement Langled suffered an injury and had to leave the field after only ten minutes. From the initial impression, it appears to be a serious knee injury that should keep the 30-year-old off the field for some time. Besides him, Jose Maria Gimenez, Marcos Llorente, and Alex Baena should remain sidelined with their injuries.
