The La Liga match between Real Madrid and Girona, scheduled for February 23rd at 10:15 AM ET, is generating considerable interest among football enthusiasts. Fans can watch the game live on ESPN Deportes or stream it via FuboTV, which offers a free trial . The odds heavily favor Real Madrid at -340, indicating their strong position as favorites to win the match. Given their recent performance and historical dominance over Girona, predictions suggest a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the home team .
Los Blancos enjoyed impressive Champions League success over the past ten days as they downed Manchester City home and away to book their place in the last 16, but they have stagnated in the defence of their La Liga crown. A defeat and two draws in their last three outings means they have been leapfrogged by Clasico rivals Barcelona at the summit.
Real Madrid are coming off a big win in the Champions League, beating Manchester City 3-1 to secure a last 16 spot. Now they are looking to carry the same form to La Liga, where they’ve failed to win any of their last three matches.
At home in the last two league matches, Real Madrid conceded first but managed to claw their way back.
Girona’s time this season has been a stark contrast to their last. They are really struggling and at this point they are surely not going to match last season’s achievements.
The visitors had their first taste of European football, participating in the Champions League. That didn’t go too well and the additional fixtures have impacted their La Liga form.
Real Madrid possible starting lineup: Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Ceballos; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius
Girona possible starting lineup: Gazzaniga; D Lopez, Krejci, Blind; A Martinez, Romeu, Asprilla, Gutierrez; Gil, Portu, Tsyhankov
Real Madrid enters this match after a significant victory in the Champions League but has faced challenges in their last three league outings. With key players like Jude Bellingham absent due to suspension and potential returns for Lucas Vázquez and Antonio Rüdiger, manager Carlo Ancelotti must adjust his strategies accordingly. A probable lineup may include Courtois; Valverde, Asencio, Rudiger; Mendy; Rodrygo, Ceballos, Camavinga; Guler; Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., aiming to leverage their attacking prowess against Girona's defense .
On the other hand, Girona approaches this fixture under pressure as they have struggled recently with six losses in their last seven matches. Currently positioned 11th in La Liga standings and missing key player Herrera due to suspension along with injured Danjuma (Porzio, 2025), Girona will need an exceptional performance to challenge Real Madrid's robust home advantage. Expert predictions lean towards a comfortable victory for Real Madrid given the contrasting form of both teams.
