Girona vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

Atletico go into tonight’s Copa Del Rey last 16 first leg having lost just one of their last 23 games and we’re predicting they will get a narrow lead in this away leg before the second leg back in Madrid. Diego Simeone’s side are well known for keeping things tight in defence and it is exactly matches like there where we expect a clean sheet, with a narrow victory.
Their style has changed slightly in the last 12 months but they are still a solid unit, just a bit more attacking than they once were.

Diego Costa is a long term absentee so Antoine Griezmann will once again be tasked with scoring the goals and he’s the 7/2 favourite in the first goalscorer market for tonight’s match.

Girona are a good side themselves and also find themselves but they have not won in four matches now and are sat in ninth place in the La Liga table. They should fancy their chances of getting a result in tonight’s fixture but it would be typical of Atletico Madrid to collect a narrow victory and put them in pole position for a quarter final place. That’s why the main Girona vs Atletico Madrid predictions for tonight is the 1-0 Atletico win.

 

Girona vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips

These teams have only ever met three times in the past and they have been the recent La Liga fixtures, in which both teams have scored on all three occasions. Our football predictions for tonight’s game is going against that trend but if you did want to bet on both teams to score, the best odds available are 11/8 with Betfair.

Antoine Griezman has been the main man for Atletico Madrid once again this season with eight La Liga goals to his name so far and he’s going to be the second of our Girona vs Atletico Madrid betting tips for tonight’s match. The Frenchman hasn’t featured much in the competition so far but he could be back in the staring line-up now Simeone is getting to the business end of the competition.

If Griezmann doesn’t start then Angel Correa could be a wise selection for a first goalscorer bet at odds of 9/1 with Boylesports.
