Girona v Atletico Madrid

Girona vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Girona kept pace with Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga table with a 1-1 draw away from home at Real Betis just before Christmas which extended the hosts' unbeaten run in the Spanish top flight to an impressive 10 games overall, while Atletico Madrid remained in third place thanks to a 1-0 home win against Sevilla, but the visitors now find themselves seven points adrift of the top two clubs including upcoming hosts, Girona.

Eight wins collected within these last 10 games overall have helped Girona produce a sustained effort in their bid to claim what seemed a highly unlikely La Liga title as they sit neck-and-neck with Real Madrid at the summit of the La Liga table ahead of this upcoming clash with the other Madrid club on Wednesday night.

Girona have produced a very consistent looking campaign to date this season as Michel Sanchez's side have been handed just the single defeat throughout the whole of this term which came in the form of a 3-0 loss at home to Real Madrid but the hosts have also picked up a total of 14 wins within their 18 games played to date.

Results at home have also impressed as Girona have registered seven wins in their nine home games so far this season which should give the hosts plenty of confidence for this upcoming top three battle against Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid returned to winning ways just before Christmas when they registered a 1-0 home win against Sevilla and although the visitors still remain in third spot in the La Liga standings, Diego Simeone's side have produced a mixed bag of results in recent weeks in the Spanish top flight.

A previous 2-1 home win against Almeria has been offset by defeats to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, both of which were inflicted upon Atletico Madrid on their travels which perhaps suggests the visitors may be happy to walk away with a point against this season's surprise package in La Liga, Girona, on Wednesday night.

To further underline the possibility of a draw here, Atletico Madrid's results away from home have been particularly disappointing as Diego Simeone's side have managed to capture just three wins from their previous 11 outings on the road which came in the shape of victories at Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna and Celta Vigo but the visitors have also lost their last three away games on the trot as well.

Girona v Atletico Madrid Verdict
