The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another set of matches this weekend as Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid take on an impressive Girona side in a crucial clash at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday.
Atletico Madrid vs Girona Preview
Girona are currently in third place in the La Liga standings and have consistently punched above their weight this season. The Catalan outfit edged Real Betis to a 3-2 victory last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in fourth place in the league table and have been fairly impressive over the past year. Los Colchoneros secured a crucial 2-1 victory against Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.
