Then, we have Atlético Madrid continuing in fourth place but only 2 points ahead of Athletic Club in fifth, so there is no margin of error.

Why Bet on Atlético Madrid?
Atlético Madrid has had many ups and downs so far this season, and therefore, they have not had the opportunity to be fully involved in the fight for the first place. However, the team retook its position within the top four after losing it to Athletic, a club that has been chasing them down since the beginning of the season.
Right now, Atleti is in fourth place in the standings, with 18 wins, 4 draws, and 8 defeats with 56 goals scored and 35 conceded. As we can see, this season, the Colchoneros have not had the defense that has characterized them so much in the Diego Simeone era.
However, even if the team is inconsistent, they look marvelous when they propose so. It was the case when they beat Borussia Dortmund in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals with a score of 2-1.
Why Bet on Girona?
On the other hand, we have Girona, the surprise team this season, after showing a mind-blowing performance both in attack and defense. Even though the Catalan side remained at the top of the table for much of the campaign, they fell into a slump from which they are finding it hard to get out of, as they dropped to third place in the standings and are ten points behind Real Madrid.
Girona have a magnificent record of 20 wins, 5 draws, and 5 defeats, with 62 goals scored and 36 conceded, clearly demonstrating that their level of play is no coincidence. Similarly, the team accumulated three wins and two defeats in their last five games, the most recent being a victory against Real Betis with a score of 3-2.
Final Betting Analysis: Atlético Madrid vs. Girona
In the last nine matches between these two teams, Atlético Madrid dominates the series with three wins. On the other hand, Girona accumulated only one win, while five games have ended with draws.
In addition, we have that Girona beat Atleti in the match of the first half of this season 2023/24 with a score of 4-3.
At 1XBET, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Atlético Madrid at 1.98, while Girona starts at 3.675.
Atlético has its eyes on Europe, as it’s their only chance to salvage a season that has been poor overall. They put their all in midweek and will reach this key duel having to prepare to visit the Signal Iduna Park. This team lacks a squad deep, so the result will be a surprising 1-2 win for the visitors.
Go for a victory for the Catalans at 3.675. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $267.5 for a total payout of $367.5.
