Real Madrid v Girona Betting Preview – La Liga 18th March 7.45pm

Real Madrid slipped to a major upset by losing to Girona earlier in the season so they will be out to earn some kind of revenge in this one. With five wins in their last six league games, they are carrying good form. Girona though are enjoying a fantastic season in the top flight as they are on a three match winning streak and just a point outside of the top six as well.

Real Madrid v Girona Betting Tips

Real Madrid have produced a W6 L1 record in their last seven league outings now and they are in fine fettle at home. They are on a four-match winning streak on home soil in the Spanish top flight, managing a total of nineteen goals in those four games. That’s some output. Overall this season at the Bernabeu Los Merengues are W9 D2 L3. They have also been leading at half time in nine of their home games so a Real Madrid/Real Madrid half time/full-time bet at bet365 should have some appeal at 1/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 09:18 p.m. on March 14th, 2018). 58% of their home goals this season have been in the first half of matches. Madrid haven’t quite made it to an average of three goals per game but are pretty close. They haven’t been at their best defensively this season and over 3.5 goals is always going to be worth considering. Each of their last four at the Bernabeu have gone above 2.5 goals. Cristiano Ronaldo is now up to 18 league goals for the season, twelve of those at home.

Girona are going pretty well at the moment having won each of their last three league games. It is the second time this season that they have achieved that. Their defence has done so well with six clean sheets in their last eight league games. Away from home they are W4 D5 L5 for the season but only snapped a six-match winless away streak with a victory at sixth-placed Villarreal in their last road game. Girona, who are based in Catalonia, have averaged over a goal per game away from home and they have scored in each of their last five league games (home and away combined). Both teams to score at bet365 could be worth a flutter at 3/4 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 01:18 a.m. on March 14th, 2018). The Blanquivermell have scored in 71% of their road games this term, with Portu being their top scorer away for them this season with a seven-goal haul. They have already beaten Madrid once this season, can they possibly do it again?

Real Madrid v Girona Head to Head

When the two met back on October 29th, 2018 that was the first-ever meeting between the two clubs. So there’s not any history to look back at, however that first clash this season did produce a shock 2-1 home success for Girona.

Real Madrid v Girona Predictions

There should be a good chance for Real Madrid to exact some revenge in this one and they can pick up three points at home in this one. It is probably worth having a look at both teams to score along with the home win as well.
