Real Madrid are set for another tough trip when they head to Catalunya to face high-flying Girona in La Liga. This match features the top two sides, Girona top of the standings and Real second, separated by one point. Girona is one of the remaining two unbeaten sides after seven matches in La Liga. They dropped two points though, in the 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad. However, coming into this game, they are on six straight wins. In their last two matches, they rose from behind to claim six points. The most recent of these outings was away to Villarreal, where they won 2-1. Girona will be taking to this game a three-game unbeaten run against Real Madrid. They’ve actually won two of these three meetings, the most recent a 4-2 win at home. In six La Liga meetings with Real Madrid, Girona have three wins against Real’s two. An area of concern for Girona though, will be their defence; they have two clean sheets only in seven matches.

Real Madrid will be under pressure to go back on top after this game and will have to be at their best here. They haven't done well in recent meetings with Girona. Vinicius Junior’s recovery will be key for them here. The Brazilian was a second half sub last time out and will hope to start this one. Real Madrid recovered in their last game, beating Las Palmas 2-0 after their loss to Atletico Madrid. They will know this is a tougher game and should come prepared. In half of their eight matches this season, Real have failed to keep clean sheets. With Eder Militao still out injured, this will still be a concern. They’ve scored in all of their eight matches though. In 10 away matches in La Liga, Real have managed just three clean sheets. Meanwhile, both sides have scored in three of their last five away league games.
