Real Madrid will be aiming to bounce back from a narrow defeat at Athletic Bilbao when they continue their La Liga campaign with a contest against Girona at Estadi Montilivi on Saturday night.
Girona:
After an impressive third-place finish in La Liga last season, Girona has experienced a slight dip in form this term, but they've found some rhythm in recent weeks. The White and Reds have earned 10 points from their last four league games, with three wins and a draw, lifting them to eighth place in the table. However, they are currently winless in their last three games in all competitions, including a surprise penalty defeat to fourth-tier UD Logrones in the Copa del Rey. Girona's recent form in La Liga has kept them just seven points behind the top four, but they'll face a tough test against a wounded Real Madrid side this weekend.
Real Madrid:
Los Blancos are still very much in the title race, despite their recent struggles. After a narrow 2-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, Real Madrid sit second in the La Liga table, four points behind Barcelona with a game in hand. They have been inconsistent lately, losing four of their last seven matches in all competitions, including a costly defeat to Athletic, where Kylian Mbappé missed another penalty. Carlo Ancelotti's side will be eager to bounce back quickly, especially with a crucial Champions League game against Atalanta looming next week. Real Madrid has had a strong record against Girona in the past, winning six of their 10 meetings, including a 3-0 victory in the corresponding fixture last season.
