La Liga points battle,Can Athletic Bilbao secure the three points?
After a 1-1 draw earlier this season, Girona seeks to replicate their 3-2 victory at San Mames against Athletic Bilbao. Athletic's last home win over Girona was in late 2018. Athletic Bilbao, mindful of the challenge, aims to bounce back from a 0-0 draw with Almeria, maintaining aspirations for a top-four finish in La Liga. In the Copa del Rey, they secured a 1-0 victory over Atletico Madrid in the semi-final's first leg, contributing to their five-game unbeaten run heading into Monday's match.
Girona suffered a significant setback with a heavy defeat to Real Madrid last weekend, denting their title aspirations. Apart from Real Madrid, they remain unbeaten in La Liga this season, showcasing a remarkable campaign. Despite being only two points ahead of Barcelona in third and five clear of fourth-placed Atletico, Girona is on track for a top-four finish. However, the 10-point gap to fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao emphasizes their strong position. A loss on Monday, though, could make them cautious as they approach the final stretch of the season.
