Key Highlights

Atlético Have not Sewn Up Their Top-Four Berth; They Need a Win At Home Against Girona

Atlético have amassed 58 points after 30 rounds of fixtures in La Liga, enough for them to suit 4th on the table, seven points behind their opponents on Saturday, Girona and two points ahead of Athletic Club in 5th. 

Diego Simeone’s side, who are in action in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, need to retain their composure against Girona or risk falling out of the top four as the run-in heats up. 

Rotating the squad will be crucial for Diego Simeone as he attempts to juggle the fight for the top-four in La Liga and next season’s Champions League qualification on the one hand and the fight to make it into the semi-final this season.

Girona Need to Make it Two Consecutive Wins as They Fight to Keep Their Top-Four Position

Girona’s title charges fell through, and they must settle for a fight for the top-four. They have fallen to 3rd on the table. However, they maintain a seven-point cushion ahead of Atlético in third.

However, inconsistency has been their undoing in recent matches; they have won three times and lost twice in their last five outings in La Liga.

A win on Saturday will see Girona extend their lead ahead of Atlético de Madrid to 10 points and give themselves an advantage ahead of the chasing pack in the fight for the top four.
