Real Madrid vs Girona Preview and Team News
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid qualified for the Champions League RO16 with a 3-1 victory in the second leg against Manchester City at the Bernabéu. This, after winning at the Etihad (3-2). The match was once again marked by a stellar performance from Kylian Mbappé, who scored a hat-trick in front of Madrid’s fans.
City struggled defensively, with players hesitant to take risks, which helped Real exploit their defensive weaknesses when counter-attacking.

Real Madrid still have a La Liga title to conquer. They dropped to second place last weekend with a draw at El Sadar by Osasuna (1-1). The match became a matter of national controversy when superstar Jude Bellingham.
This disrespect earned him an early send-off, while it remains unknown how long he will be suspended.
The team will be without Bellingham along with Dani Carvajal and Éder Militao, who are sidelined due to injury.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Girona (4-3-3): Courtois; García, Asensio, Tchouaméni, Valverde; Ceballos, Camavinga, Modrić; Vinicius Jr, Mbappé, Rodrygo.
Girona Team News
Girona sit in 10th place in La Liga. They lost 3-0 to Athletic Club, struggling to contain Sancet, followed by a 2-1 defeat against Getafe. The result was influenced by Yangel Herrera’s red card in the 73rd minute.
Uche scored Getafe’s first goal, making it difficult for Girona to navigate the match, but Yangel Herrera equalized shortly after the half-time break. Borja Mayoral scored the winner with less than ten minutes left.

Yangel Herrera is suspended. Abel Ruiz, Arnaut Danjuma, and Viktor Tsygankov are out with injuries.
Girona predicted line-up vs Real Madrid (3-4-3): Gazzaniga; Blind, Krejčí, López; Gutiérrez, Romeu, Van de Beek, Martinez; Gil, Stuani, Asprilla.
Bet hereReal Madrid vs Girona Prediction
- Prediction: Real Madrid to win
- Odds: 1.275 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Real Madrid 4-0 Girona
The guests conceded at least three goals in each of their last three encounters against the hosts, and its likely to occur again. Real Madrid will come back revitalized with the knowledge they qualified for the Champions League RO16 with a confident Mbappé.
Girona’s lack of defensive principles, emphasized through a three-man back formation, means they typically rely on their attack. However, Tsygankov is set to miss the game, which forces a couple of changes in Michel’s dynamic.
Real Madrid vs Girona Betting Tip
- Pick: Kylian Mbappé to score
- Odds: 1.727 (22Bet)
With Real Madrid’s 27 goals in 38 matches, the discussions about Mbappé being a “flop” are over. The Frenchman scored a hat-trick against Manchester City, therefore being the only scorer of the night for the hosts.
In Bernabéu against a defensively vulnerable team, this is the ideal set-up for Kylian to score.
