Experience is something that will make the difference between Real Madrid and Girona. Real Madrid's experience is certainly not comparable to that of Girona. But Girona will be more motivated to avenge their defeat in the first meeting, at least they can't lose again.
The close points gap is a chalenge for both teams. For Girona a win will take them back to the top of the table and if they lose, they will fall further behind Real Madrid.
I'm not sure if they'll go for a defensive strategy or try to play openly. But if you look at the way Real Madrid play, they're not really a team that tries to keep the ball, so it's likely that Girona will play the way they usually do.
Basically both teams have experience in the La Liga competition, but what differentiates them is the depth of the squads of these two teams. Real Madrid has players who excel in every line, while Girona is more of a modest player. however, the performance of Michel's squad this season has been very impressive. apart from that, Girona players are also quite productive in terms of scoring goals throughout this competition. well, the problem is that the team that Girona will visit this week is one of the giant La Liga teams. Real Madrid, is a team that is above Girona's level. so in any case, Real Madrid will be far superior in the meeting between these two teams. moreover, in the first meeting Girona lost 0-3 at home.
Well, we'll see what happens when these two teams fight later. at the very least, Girona have also played against other tough teams such as overthrowing Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which could be their motivation when they visit Santiago Bernabeu, Real Madrid's home ground. well, this match still has some time left before it takes place, whether or not Girona is able to fight Real Madrid, we will find out during the title fight this week. however, based on the betting market, Real Madrid is far superior to its opposing team. Madrid with odds @1.47, while Girona with @6.20. on paper, Madrid should be able to take advantage of the momentum to get full points over Girona. But what's unique is that in football it's difficult for us to predict. moreover, these two teams previously only produced a draw in the previous week. there is no choice but to wait and watch this match.
