Girona vs. Real Madrid: Preview and betting tips

A very interesting duel awaits us on Tuesday evening from 19:30. Real Madrid will take on newcomer Girona, where a lot of goals are being scored.

Real Madrid is practically just finishing La Liga. They are 11 points behind Barcelona and it is almost certain that they will not win the title. They will concentrate on the two competitions where they can still attack the trophies.

They have reached the final of the Copa del Rey, and will challenge Manchester City in the semi-finals of the Champions League. The coach himself, Carlo Ancelotti, said that Real use the league games to keep the players up to speed and get them comfortable.

This is working well, they have won their last two games by identical 2-0 scores, both against Celta Vigo and Cadiz. They also beat Chelsea by the same scoreline, giving Los Blancos four two-goal wins in a row.

The players are no longer so tied down by the pressure of fighting for the title, so they often concede more and create quite a few chances.

A lot of goals are falling in Girona’s games. The newcomer has scored the fourth most goals in La Liga (43) (only Real, Barca and Atlético have more).

46 goals have been scored in 15 games at the Estadi Montivili. Home fans have seen shootouts with Almeria (6:2), Vallecano (2:2) and Real Sociedad (3:5).

With Real Madrid having the best offense (63) in the whole league and Girona the fourth best and also getting quite a few goals, one would expect that there could be some more shootouts in the match.
