Girona VS Atletico Madrid live preview La Liga

Celta Vigo：

Girona finds themselves in a historic position as they strive to make 2024 a memorable year, firmly contending for the title with an impressive record of 14 wins, three draws, and just one defeat in 18 league matches. Despite a slight setback, drawing 1-1 with Real Betis in their final match of 2023, Girona remains the top scorer in La Liga with 42 goals, setting the stage for a remarkable year. Returning to Estadi Municipal de Montilivi for their first 2024 fixture, Girona aims to continue their strong home form, having won four of their last five matches at Montilivi.

Betis：

On the other hand, Atletico Madrid faced challenges in December, impacting their pursuit of a 12th top-flight title. With just two victories in five league games, including defeats to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, Atleti experienced inconsistency. Despite a positive end to 2023 with a home win against Sevilla, Atletico struggled in away fixtures, losing their last three in La Liga. Eager to secure their first away league win since October, Atletico looks to improve their away form as they visit Girona, a venue where they secured a narrow 1-0 victory in their last encounter in March.

Analysis:

Girona faces defensive challenges as David Lopez joins the injured list alongside Toni Villa and Joel Roca. Doubts linger over the availability of Ricard Artero, Yangel Herrera, and Borja Garcia, while Viktor Tysgankov might return after a two-game absence. If fit, the Ukraine international could form a front three with Dovbyk and Savio. Atletico Madrid contends with the absence of Pablo Barrios and Thomas Lemar due to injury, while Caglar Soyuncu serves a one-match ban. Marcos Llorente, the hero against Sevilla, is likely to return to the starting lineup, and Mario Hermoso is expected back from suspension. Reinildo Mandava is unavailable, away with the Mozambique national team for the African Cup of Nations.
