Girona vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
The merengue table leaves as favorite due to its greater hierarchy, which is still latent despite the departure of coach Zidane and Cristiano Ronaldo. For this reason and even when the Catalans are competitive in Montilivi, we believe that the Lopetegui boys have what it takes to handle the ball and to win the game. Remember that they need to continue accumulating victories to strengthen their football proposal and to leave behind the defeat against Atleti for the European Supercup. Paint to be an open duel and spaces due to the vertical proposal of the premises.
Girona:
The league start of the Catalans was not very good to say, after equaling 0-0 against Valladolid in Montilivi. The team had the ball and generated goal situations, but was not fine in the definition. Now his goal is to score against Real Madrid, trying to score above all things. For this presentation it is expected that the technician Eusebio use a conservative system, since it will clash with a rival of high hierarchy. For this reason, it is expected that their boys will retract their lines and appeal to the counterattack to score. Of course, it is not ruled out that they have the ball in some moments of the game. The ideal would be for Portu, the Uruguayan Stuani and the Honduran Lozano to appear as a revulsive from the substitute bench.
As a local in Montilivi, Girona obtained acceptable results during the previous season, after winning 8 matches, matching 3 others and losing the remaining 8 that he played. In terms of goals, he scored 26 and gave 22 in his goal, proving to be a competitive and complicated set to overcome between the lines. Of course, closed his campaign in a negative way, after losing their last 4 home games.
Real Madrid:
The meringue start of the meringues can be classified as positive after defeating Getafe 2-0 at home and adding their first 3 points in the general table. The team recovered from the defeat in the European Supercup, showing a mental and football improvement. Now his goal is to win his first start in the tournament and ratify his power between the lines. For this presentation, Lopetegui is expected to use the best he has, being able to maintain the 4-3-3 system he used against Atlético de Madrid and Getafe. Under this tactical drawing it is vital the contribution of the laterals Carvajal and Asensio, which will surely be associated with the talented Kroos and Isco. Up, Bale, Asensio and Benzema will continue to be lethal in front of the rival goal. From the bench, Modric could be an important boost for the second half.
As a visitor in the previous season, Real Madrid registered acceptable scorecards after winning 10 matches, matching another 6 and losing the remaining 3 that played in this condition (40 goals scored and 24 assigned in their goal). If we analyze these numbers, we can say that the meringues were explosive and unbalanced outside the Bernabéu. Of course, they need to improve their defensive production, since they always make mistakes when they score.
