Girona vs Atletico Madrid
2017/18 Spanish LaLiga
Date: Saturday, 19th August 2017
Kick off at 19:15 UK/ 20:15 CET
Venue: Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.

Atletico Madrid will begin the new Primera Division campaign at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi where they are going to play the league’s newcomers Girona this Saturday.

The hosts will come into the game in high spirits after beating Manchester City in their last pre-season play on Tuesday evening (1-0) on the home patch.

Girona

A real buzz is expected in and around Estadio Municipal de Montilivi where Girona will play their first ever match in the elite class of the Spanish football.

The team led by Pablo Machin will be the main candidates for the instant drop to Segunda Division in spite of signing former Middlesbrough man Christian Stuani to join Kayode and Moreno up front.

Machin can be thrilled with his team’s defensive displays in last two friendlies as Girona kept clean sheets against both Reus Deportiu and Man City.

Atletico Madrid

Atleti did not change their team much in between two seasons, but Diego Simeone will be hoping to see his side competitive to real Madrid and Barcelona in the battle for the very top this time around.

The charismatic Argentine manager can generally be satisfied with the job his team did during the pre-season as Atleti have won four and drawn one of their five previous friendly matches.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid: Head to head

This is going to be the first ever head to head meeting between the two teams.

Girona vs Atletico Madrid: Prediction

The quality is clearly on Atletico’s side, but we don’t see the value in the 4/9 odds offered on the away win since the team from Madrid dropped plenty of points on the road in the last term of Primera.

We’ll thus rather go with the Under 2.5 goals as Girona showed a couple of decent defensive displays during the pre-season.
