Girona vs Real Madrid prediction and betting tips on December 7, 2024
Game Prediction
In the 16th round of La Liga on December 7, 2024, Girona will host Real Madrid. Both teams are struggling this season and will aim to uplift their spirits and their fans with a positive result in this encounter.
Our Prediction for Girona vs Real Madrid
Girona delivered sensational, almost unbelievable results last season, especially in the first half when they briefly led the league standings. Ultimately, Real Madrid and Barcelona overtook Michel Sanchez’s side, pushing them to a respectable third place—still exceeding all expectations. Meanwhile, Real Madrid claimed the La Liga title early, along with the Supercopa de España, and capped their season with another Champions League victory.
This season, however, the multiple-time Champions League winners have already suffered three defeats—in games against Lille, AC Milan, and Liverpool. Against Liverpool, they barely managed a single shot on target. Domestically, they stumbled as early as the opening round and were thrashed 0-4 by Barcelona in a home El Clásico. A string of victories and slip-ups by their rivals briefly restored their league leadership, but a 1-2 loss to Athletic Club earlier this week complicated matters again.
For Girona, their Champions League debut has been a disaster. Repeated defensive blunders, both at home and away, have resulted in losses to PSG, Feyenoord, PSV, and Sturm Graz, with their sole victory coming against Slovan Bratislava. In La Liga, they managed only three wins in their first 11 games, but a revival in November saw them climb into the top third of the table. Still, a draw with Villarreal and a penalty shootout loss to Logroñés in the Copa del Rey—where their opponent played extra time and penalties without a goalkeeper—highlight ongoing issues.
