After starting their 2024–25 La Liga campaign with respective draws, Atletico Madrid and Girona will look for their first win in an interesting clash this weekend. This match at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano on Sunday comes with our prediction of being a high-scoring match.

Both teams are coming off draws in their first match of the season. Atletico had to settle for a point after a 2-2 draw with Villarreal in their first match. That game saw a frantic first half that saw all four goals scored before the break, both times Atletico having had to come back from a goal down.

Diego Simeone’s men will be happy to play at home, looking at how dominating they have been at this venue. Atletico have won eight of their last ten league matches played here and will look to build on that to win their first match of this league campaign.

Girona started their season with a 1-1 draw against Real Betis, another match where they needed a 73rd-minute goal to pull things back. Yet, it was a commendable performance considering the sleuth of changes they had to undergo in the summer.

The visitors have struggled away from home, with only two wins from their last nine away league matches from last season. This sequence has seen them lose five and draw two matches, so a win for the away side isn’t a given.
