Atletico Madrid v Girona Prediction: 12/5 Atleti to send Girona home empty-handed

Atletico Madrid have never lost at home against Girona and Diego Simeone’s side will be determined to keep it that way at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium when they meet in La Liga.

Girona are struggling for form and still find themselves battling to avoid the drop out of the top flight, while Atleti are still in the hunt to leapfrog Villarreal into third spot.

A win over Osasuna has got Atleti back on track after a difficult run and the capital outfit will be eager to add to Girona’s woes near the bottom end of the table.

Atletico Madrid v Girona Tips Summary

Best Bet - Atletico Madrid to win to nil @ 12/5
Alternative Bet - Alexander Sorloth anytime goalscorer @ 21/20
Bet Builder - Over 2 total goals, Antoine Griezmann anytime goalscorer & Arnau Martinez to be booked @ 12/1

Atletico Madrid v Girona Prediction

Best Bet: Atletico Madrid to win to nil @ 12/5

Winning all of their last four games against Girona, this fixture holds some fond recent memories for Atleti, who have shown themselves to be resilien at the back in this fixture.

Girona have not managed to score a single goal in their last three meetings against Atleti and the visitors are backed to draw a blank again on Sunday.

With just 38 goals this season, only Real Oviedo, Rayo Vallecano and Getafe have scored fewer in La Liga this term.

Lacking a cutting edge in the final third, Girona to lose and fail to get on the scoresheet of a fourth game running against Atleti appeals here.

Alternative Bet: Alexander Sorloth anytime goalscorer @ 21/20

Alexander Sorloth was back on the scoresheet for Atleti against Osasuna last time out and the Norwegian is tipped up in the anytime goalscorer market here.

Sorloth has found memories of playing Girona, having bagged a hat-trick against them in La Liga last season.

On the back of his goalscoring display against Osasuna, Sorloth to score again on Sunday gets the nod.

• Over 2 total goals

• Antoine Griezmann anytime goalscorer

• Arnau Martinez to be booked

  
  Pays 12/1

Winning by an aggregate scoreline of 10-0 across their last three meetings with Girona, Atleti should be among the goals on Sunday and over two total goals is tipped up in this bet builder.

Antoine Griezmann scored in the La Liga meeting between these sides back in December and the Frenchman is backed to score again here.

Meanwhile, Arnau Martinez is tipped up to be booked in Sunday’s showdown, on what is likely to be a busy evening for the Girona defence.

Shown a yellow card in the last meeting between these sides, Martinez to be booked again this weekend would come as little surprise.
