Girona – Real Madrid, Copa del Rey Prediction

Between the two matches with Real Madrid Girona had to play with Barcelona in La Liga, in which game, they were expected lose and it happened with 0-2 in the last round. Of course, this is not surprising, as the shape of the Catalonians is brilliant, while Girona is not in their best period. In the first game against Real Madrid they succumbed to the tension, but despite the loss of 4-2, they scored 2 goals away from home and are still in the game.

Real Madrid is already looking like this team from the past years, which easily overcame its rivals and it is now quite reasonable to talk much better stuff for Los Blancos super stars. Their chances for the title remain illusory, so Copa del Rey gives them the opportunity to win a trophy, which is a must for this club every season. Despite the good form of Real, they are not as successful in their visits.

Girona has no choice, but to attack Real Madrid, because they need a win with 2 clean goals. However, a defensive and cautious approach is quite likely, as Real Madrid is quite strong on a counter attack. Besides, we’ve already seen something like this, when Los Blancos had to play away against Leganes, when they lost 1-0. In the last 9 games of Girona at home we saw under 3.5 goals and this seems the best option at the moment, as the guests will be fine with almost any result, including a minimum loss of 0-1. Prediction – Under 3.5 goals at 1.56
