Real Madrid vs Girona Preview:

Possible starting lineups:

Real Madrid:
Lunin, Carvajal, Rudiger, Nacho, Mendy, Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga, Bellingham, Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz

Girona:
Gazzaniga, Couto, Martinez, Garcia, Gutierrez, Garcia, Martin, Tsygankov, Savio, Dovbyk, Portu

Real Madrid welcome Girona to the Stadio Santiago Bernabeu this weekend in this top-of-the-table clash. According to the odds, Los Blancos are huge favorites in this match. They are first on the table with 58 points, two more than Girona. Real are in excellent form, they have six victories and one draw in the last seven matches in La Liga. The only draw came last weekend against Atletico Madrid, when they conceded a stoppage-time equalizer. Previously Real managed to beat Villarreal, Alaves, Mallorca, Almeria, Las Palmas and Getafe. The atmosphere in the squad is excellent, while the players confidence is very high. In addition, coach Carlo Ancelotti has some good news ahead of this match. Aurelien Tchouameni is available after serving a ban in the Madrid derby last time out. Vinicius, who was forced to pull out of the starting XI against Atletico due to a neck problem, is expected to be ready for Saturday, just as Antonio Rudiger. Key player Jude Bellingham will try to improve his numbers in the derby. So far he has scored 14 goals and provided 3 assists in 20 La Liga games.

Girona are the surprise of the season, not only in Spain, but in Europe. They are second a the moment, but the fans are dreaming about the title. And all of the neutral fans across the World like Girona to be the new champions. Leicester City showed it is not impossible few years ago. Of course, it won't be easy, Real are big club with huge influence. I think it is not a coincidence that two important players will not be available. La Liga has rejected Girona's appeal regarding the yellow cards received by Daley Blind and Yan Brice Eteki in the match against Real Sociedad last weekend. Girona also appealed the red card shown to their head coach, Michel, but La Liga rejected that appeal as well. Michel will miss not only the match against Real Madrid but also the game against Athletic Bilbao next week. On the positive note, the club top scorer Artem Dovbyk should be available after injury concerns. The Ukrainian has missed the Sociedad match with a knee injury. With 14 goals, he shares the top spot in La Liga's scoring charts with Jude Bellingham and Borja Mayoral from Getafe.

Real Madrid vs Girona Prediction:

Real Madrid defeated Girona 3:0 in the reverse fixture played in September. Nobody was surprised with the result, it was quite natural Real to beat the Catalan club. But Girona haven't lost in the league since then and they are fighting for title. Playing against favorites is not a big problem for Michel and his men. They already beat Barcelona in December and Atletico Madrid in January. Maybe February is reserved for Real? Nevertheless, I will suggest a safer option, Girona not to lose with more than one goal.

Real Madrid vs Girona Pick: Girona +1.5 AH @ 1.76 with Pinnacle
