Girona and Real Madrid's abilities will be tested next week when they face each other at the Estadi Montilivi stadium. Girona who has performed extraordinary this season, managed to reach the top of the standings, now they are one point ahead of Real Madrid and two points ahead of Barcelona. This match is very important for both teams, especially Girona who acts as host, victory will further widen Girona gap with Real Madrid.
While Real Madrid must be careful with the surprise from Girona, Ancelotti must learn from the defeat that Real Madrid experienced against Atletico. This season Real Madrid's goal productivity has also decreased drastically and they have conceded 6 goals since the season started. Girona could add to Real Madrid's wounds if their front line plays less than optimally and the defense line is not neatly organized. Since being held to a draw by Real Sociedad in the first week, Girona has won six consecutive wins, of course this match is a big test for Real Madrid because Girona is in top form.
If Girona manages to beat Real Madrid in their home match, then this team deserves high respect from me. Of course I'm sure they can't be expected to thwart Real Madrid's plans to return to the top of the standings, but following their good performance, who are unbeaten in 7 consecutive matches, a draw can be considered.
Real Madrid have learned from their derby defeat against Atletico Madrid and they have recovered as evidenced by their win against Las Palmas. Vinicius' return has made their attacking line stronger, so Girona will likely have difficulty maintaining their unbeaten record.
Tomorrow's match against Real Madrid will prove which team deserves to be at the top of the points table.
Real Madrid's next match is against Girona, who are already on top of the points table, so Real Madrid must plan hard before taking the field against them. Real Madrid will lose a lot from this match if they share the points or lose points in this match as full points can give Real Madrid a lot. Already losing against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid are not in a good morale, but since they are a professional team, they have to adapt to any situation and perform at their best.
I will be much happier as a Real Madrid supporter if Real Madrid get full points in this match.
