Girona, the surprise and flash team of the season, go into week eight as leaders. Michel's team are unbeaten and won again at Villarreal after falling behind earlier in the week. They have made some very good additions to last season's good squad. For Real Madrid, Vinicius Junior could return to the starting eleven this time but i don't expect Alaba to play and Rüdiger is available but not fully fit. Real struggled in the Atletico Madrid derby, especially in defending air balls. Girona can take advantage of this with Dovbyk. I think Girona will score but Real Madrid can pull rabbits out of the hat in these games with their big team reflexes. I think the game will start with a fast start and there could be goals against each other.
Barcelona has taken the first place in the league now, a lucky win and 3 points, so they have 20 points only 1 point more. But today the topgame is played in Girona, the guest is Real Madrid. Girona has won the last 6 games, the series of real madrid is not so good. The last match between the two teams was on 25.04.2023, there Girona won 4:2 against Madrid. The name Castellanos was everywhere in Spain, he score 4 goals against real madrid. Today he will not play, he moved to lazio rom.
Girona has 19 points in 7 matches and Barcelona has 20 points in 8 matches. A win for Girona or Madrid in today's match will see Barcelona lose top spot in the table. However, if the match between Girona and Madrid is a draw, the top spot in the table will be occupied by Barcelona.
The way Girona have performed in the first 7 matches this season is amazing. Girona team surprised everyone. They are unbeaten so far and Girona have won 6 out of 7 matches. However, Madrid are a very experienced team. They will definitely not want to lose against a team like Girona. However, Madrid lost 4-2 in the last match against Girona. Madrid will have to avenge the previous defeat today. There is no doubt that the match will be competitive.
