La Liga: Atletico Madrid vs Girona Offshore Odds, Preview, and Picks (Aug 24)

Before Betting On Atletico Madrid vs Girona

An early-season clash between two of the top four from last season is set in La Liga for this weekend. Atletico Madrid and Girona both started the campaign with disappointing results, as they were held to draws in their first outings of the new season. However, this weekend’s showdown in the Spanish capital could give both sides an ideal chance to build some momentum in the fascinating race for a European spot this term.

Atletico holds the narrow advantage in the recent meetings between the sides in Madrid after going four without defeat. They have won three times across that period, and have netted at least twice in each of the matches. Meanwhile, Girona’s recent against their rivals deserves consideration, as they have won just once in their last eight. Their only success was a 4-3 home win last term.

Draws have been a common outcome when these sides have clashed in recent seasons, with three of the last eight in the league ending level. Girona have only picked up more draws in the Spanish top-flight against Real Sociedad in La Liga history.

Atletico will be looking to avoid making unwanted history this weekend, as they haven’t failed to win in each of their opening two matches at the start of the new season since 2016-17. Girona also haven’t failed to win in the opening two rounds on just one occasion, with that coming in 2018-19 when they suffered relegation to the second tier.
