By the way, I am very curious whether Mallorca will manage to beat another top team in the Copa del Rey that will be played today because yes, Mallorca will play aginst Real Sociedad in this match. In fact, Mallorca's position in the La Liga table is also only in the bottom zone just above the relegation zone but surprisingly, Mallorca managed to beat Girona in the previous Copa del Rey match. Therefore, although it seems that Real Sociedad is still quite favored to win but yes, it still seems not easy at all for Real Sociedad to beat Mallorca in this match because yes, it seems that Mallorca can play well in the Copa del Rey.
They can hold Real Sociedad to a draw in this match. Although only a draw, but still this is a pretty good result for Mallorca, because in actual strength Real SOciedad is better than them. In La Liga itself Real Sociedad is at the top, while Mallorca is at the bottom.
Real Sociedad were made difficult, although they controlled the match, but they did not create goals from the few opportunities they created. The second leg will probably be much different.
Madrid is a very strong team, with a lot of stars and talented players in their squad. However, this is not the only reason why Madrid will win. Girona is performing well this season. And in several matches Girona has shown surprise. Girona also blew away teams like Barcelona. However, Girona lost the previous match against Madrid 3-0. They don't want to make the same mistake again. Girona will play for victory in the next match against Madrid. I think the match will be a draw. I will be happy if the match is a draw. Because if Madrid wins, we will only see the dominance of Madrid in this year's La Liga, and Madrid will win the title. But if Madrid fail to win the match, the title battle between Girona and Madrid will continue.
Real Madrid drew in their previous match against Atletico Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu and this was a signal when they faced Girona whose performance was much better than Atletico Madrid. Even though Real Madrid is currently very strong and has a number of great players in it, it does not guarantee that they will win this match because Girona will definitely try to provide balanced resistance and can at least get one point at home to Real Madrid.
Statistically Real Madrid's strength is quite the favorite as the winner in this match and I predict the match will end in a draw. Because Girona has already faced Real Madrid in the first leg at home even though they lost, the coach definitely has the option to face Raal Madrid's sharp attack line in scoring goals.
Looking at the records of this season these two teams are actually quite balanced, but if you look for the whole, such as track records and others, it is clear that Real Madrid is the favored team here.
Real Madrid beat Girona in the first meeting, now they get the opportunity to host Girona, it will be a pressure for Girona because they have to play at the opponent's headquarters.
But Girona will also be aiming for at least a draw to keep their championship hopes alive.
