Girona has seen only 1 win in the last 5 matches and that was a 7-goal thriller.

Atletico Madrid go into this game flowing with confidence having scored 10 goals more than Girona and having kept 3 clean sheets.

Recent Girona and Atletico Madrid Match Analysis

Last 5 Girona matches: Real Betis 1-1 Girona (A) LaLiga Girona 1-1 Real Madrid (H) LaLiga Qurense 2-1 Girona (A) Copa Del Rey Elche 3-0 Girona (A) LaLiga Real Sociedad 1-2 Girona (A) LaLiga

Not the greatest run of form for Girona as they have only managed to win a single game in the last 5. One of the losses also includes getting knocked out of the Copa Del Rey something no club wants happening so early on in the season and competition. This would have damaged their confidence a lot especially after the boost they would have gotten from a draw against Real Madrid. The main issue that they have had is their defence as they have failed to keep a clean sheet in the last 5 matches and this will be very worrying as Atletico Madrid have often been able to put a lot past Girona when they have been playing well, with this defence being poor, they could face yet another heavy defeat, so they will need their defence to be stronger on Sunday.

Last 5 Atletico Madrid matches: Barcelona 3-1 Atletico Madrid (A) LaLiga Athletic Club 1-0 Atletico Madrid (A) LaLiga PSV Eindhoven 2-3 Atletico Madrid (A) Champions League Atletico Madrid 2-1 Valencia (H) LaLiga Atletico Baleares 2-3 Atletico Madrid (A) Copa Del Rey

Some poor form to begin with but has gotten better for Atletico Madrid as they have now won 3 straight matches. Once again, their main issue has been their defence having conceded 9 goals in the last 5 games and also not seen a clean sheet in the last 5 matches. However, they have had a much better attack in their last 3 matches scoring 8 goals in the last 3 matches. They will be hoping to carry this on into this game so that they can take advantage of Girona’s poor defence and protect their weaker defence.

Key Player to Watch: Girona vs Atletico Madrid

Viktor Tsigankov (Girona): The winger has 5 goal contributions in his first 10 games this season with 3 goals and 2 assists so far. He is the joint top scorer for Girona and will be hoping that he can make himself the top scorer on Sunday. He has over performed his Xg by over 1 this season and all his goals have come from being in the right place at the right time. His ability to finish and take chances is something they will need against Atletico Madrid as they won’t have many chances, so they need to make them count.

Julian Alvarez (Atletico Madrid): He’s been one of the best strikers in Europe this season with 9 goal contributions in the league so far this season. His ability to be clinical and linkup with his other teammates have made him a vital player for Atletico Madrid when going forward and he is the player that makes them tick. If they win and score more than 1 expect it to be as a result of Alvarez’s influence.
