Prediction: 3-0
Girona
Atletico Madrid will look to build on a 2-0 win over Sevilla when they take on Girona for the first time since April 2019. Back then los Rojiblancos defeated the Catalans, and, no doubt, the hosts want the history to be repeated. Joao Felix should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the Champions League defeat to Club Brugge, while both Felipe and Reguilon remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The visitors, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 5-3 loss to Real Sociedad, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Atletico Madrid’s party at Estadio Wanda Metropolitano. Michel can’t count on the likes of Jesus Carvalho, David Lopez, and Borja Garcia for Saturday’s clash, while Ibrahima Kebe should recover in time to face Diego Simeone’s troops.
Highlighted Player (Antoine Griezmann):
Anthony Griezmann is a French forward born on 21st March 1991 in Macon, and he is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most exciting footballers at the moment. The pacey striker started showing his potential shortly after coming through Real Sociedad’s youth academy and he went on to score 46 goals in 179 league appearances for La Real. Excellent displays in Spanish la Liga saw him become a target for a number of top clubs, but he eventually choose to sign for Atletico Madrid, and that proved to be a very good decision.
Griezmann continued the rich vein of form at Vicente Calderon, scoring some important goals as los Colchoneros enjoyed domestic and European success, while also becoming a key member of the France national team.
Playing as a winger or second striker, Griezmann possesses impressive technical skills, he is a strong finisher and still finds time to work hard for his side, so no wonder he is widely regarded as one of the leading forwards on the continent. He won the U19 European Championship with France and is tipped to lead Les Bleus to glory on senior level as well.
Highlighted Team (Girona):
After several unsuccessful attempts, finally secured promotion to Primera Division at the end of the 2016/2017 season. The Catalan outfit finished the campaign in second place in the standings, 14 points behind Levante and only two clear of third-placed Getafe. Girona play their home games at Montilivi and the capacity of the venue is 9.286.
Speaking of the club history, Girona were founded in the café Norat in La Rambla of Girona on July 23, 1930 and they played their first official game against Colonia Artigas. A number of Spanish coaches were in charge of the team in the past, but it has to be noted that Uruguayan tactician Dagoberto Moll (1965/1966) and Karoly Plattko (1948/1949) of Hungary were in charge of the club as well.
The Catalan team wear white shirts with red stripes when playing at home, while the colour of their shorts is blue. The team’s away kits are blue and black and Sporting Gijon are considered one of Girona’s fiercest rivals.
