The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another round of matches this week as Girona lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side in an important encounter at the Estadio Montilivi on Tuesday.
Girona vs Real Madrid Preview
Girona are currently in 11th place in the La Liga standings and have been inconsistent over the course of their campaign. The Catalan outfit slumped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Real Valladolid over the weekend and will need to bounce back in this match.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are in second place in the league table at the moment and have been impressive in recent weeks. Los Blancos eased past Celta Vigo by a 2-0 scoreline in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.
