Real Madrid VS Girona        Livescore / H2H  
Time:  23-02-2025 23:15 Sunday
----------------------------------------------
Team Analysis
The "Whites" had an exciting two-leg encounter with Manchester City in the Champions League playoffs. Carlo Ancelotti's squad proved to be more balanced and prepared for the increased pressure, setting the final score at 6-3 after both matches. However, things haven't been as bright in the national championship for the "Galacticos" lately, with no victories in the last three rounds. In the previous match, the Italian specialist once again utilized Federico Valverde in the right-back position.

Even after Girona's exit from the Champions League, the team has not become any fresher. In the clash with Getafe (1:2) in the last round, Michel's squad failed to create enough sharp moments at Soria's goal to achieve a satisfactory result. A tactical feature of "the Gironistes" lately is their active pressing on the opponent's half of the field, as well as creating a numerical advantage in the line controlling the ball. A key role in possession is played by Yangel Herrera, who also participates in the vast majority of transitions from defense to attack.

Goaloo Prediction
Not only is Girona struggling to achieve the necessary result in away matches, but they have also never beaten Real at the “Bernabeu.” The loss of Yangel Herrera, who is an indispensable player for the “white-and-reds” in terms of building their attacking game, will also be a significant factor in determining the winner. The “Merengues” desperately need to break their unsuccessful streak and regain the leading position in the league table. Our editorial team predicts a home victory with a score of 3:1. The key choice is a Real victory with a handicap (-1.5).

Pick: Real Madrid Handicap (-1.5)
