Girona v Real Madrid Betting Preview – La Liga 29th October 3.15pm
Real Madrid have to go to London in midweek to face Spurs in the Champions League so they will have wanted an easy game on the weekend ahead of that and they look as if they will get one. Madrid are now on a four match winning streak in the Spanish top flight as they try and reel in Barcelona who are five points clear of them at the top. Girona have struggled for form in the top flight this season with just the two wins on the board and they sit just the three points above the drop zone.
Girona v Real Madrid Betting Tips
After gaining promotion to the Spanish top flight last season, Girona have found the going a little tough. They have produced a W2 D3 L4 record this season and while it is not particularly strong, remembering that they have come up a tier and considering that really have only taken one big loss against Barcelona, it’s not all that bad from them over the early stages of the season. Girona have only conceded the fourteen goals in nine games, which isn’t terrible by any stretch of the imagination and there are sides above them in the table who have conceded more. It may be worth a flutter on under 2.5 goals at bet365 for a price of 21/10. There’s little suggestion that Girona will win this as they are on a three match losing streak at home, part of a W1 D1 L3 record on home turf, but they can keep the scoreline respectable.
In the bet365 correct score market, a Real Madrid 2-0 result is a 7/1 price for the game which looks decent value. The Merengues are now in a strong flow of results having won their last four games in a row in La Liga, but they still do look a little susceptible at the back. Still, they will be expected to go and record a clean sheet victory in this one and Real Madrid to win to nil at bet365 returns a price of 13/10. Real Madrid, after their slow start, are playing catch up in the title race, with them starting five points behind leaders Barcelona and one back of second-placed Valencia as well. They have a big derby game against Atletico coming up in mid-November as well.
But they should collect maximum points in this fixture before having to face Spurs in the UEFA Champions League in midweek. Madrid have won all four of their league away games this season scoring at least two goals in each of those fixtures. They have only the one clean sheet on their travels this term though. Cristiano Ronaldo is having a really quiet league season by his high standards and he has just the one league goal so far in the 2017/18 league season but he is still the 19/10 bet365 first goalscorer favourite. This is the first ever meeting between the two clubs and the Merengues should collect the three points by breaking any resistance that Girona have. Real Madrid are averaging exactly two goals per game this season in the Spanish top flight.
