Atletico Madrid look to bounce back from Champions League humiliation with a win when they welcome Girona for the Spanish La Liga clash on Sunday evening.
With the limited activities in summer transfer market, Atletico were expected to have a tough time in bagging consistent results this season. They prove no one wrong and keep dropping points against moderate teams across all competitions.
At the same time, results fell in their way on the road in the domestic league this season and this is why they are fifth in the standings.
Diego Simeone will be desperate for a win to put all the disappointing results him and there is no better time to host a poor away side like Girona.
The visitors who got promoted this season had troubles coming up against mid table teams and won just 2 of the 7 games played so far.
They are without a win away from home, though this is only their fourth game on the road this season.
Atletico Madrid vs Girona Head-to-head
The teams last met in La Liga three years ago and Atletico won the corresponding home fixture 2-0. This happened to be their only win in the last six h2h matches across all competition with all of the remaining five ending in stalemates.
Interestingly, both teams scored in five consecutive games before the Madrid win.
Despite a poor run of form, we have to admire the quality in this Atlet side and we are backing them to win this game right out leading from the first half. So HT/FT 1/1 is our value pick for this game.
Brave punters can take a shot at the correct full time score of 2-0 with Simeone’s defense a tall order to break down for lesser teams in the league.
