Atlético Madrid had a disappointing run on the road in LaLiga last season, managing just two wins and suffering 11 defeats. A visit to in-form Atlético Madrid is unlikely to turn their fortunes around, especially with Atlético picking up 16 out of the last 18 possible points at home.
There has been a goal scored in each of Atlético Madrid’s last 14 LaLiga matches, showing their consistency in breaking the deadlock. With only one of Girona’s last 16 matches in the league ending without goals, it would be surprising if this game ended in a scoreless draw.
Recent matches involving Atlético Madrid have been full of action, with both teams finding the net in 14 of their last 18 LaLiga games. Girona also has a strong record of scoring, having done so in 10 of their last 11 top-flight matches.
