Real Madrid preview: Wobbling Madrid
Real Madrid come into this one on the back of being extremely fortunate to come through the first-leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie with Bayern Munich just a goal behind, having rallied to ensure a 2-1 defeat in the Spanish capital.
Los Blancos had found some form just before the March international break, with Alvaro Arbeloa trusting young players, but they have regressed again, having been beaten 2-1 by Real Mallorca in the Balearic Islands last weekend.
Girona preview: Push for Europe
After a woeful start to the campaign, Girona have certainly turned things around as they head into the final few weeks of the season believing they could even squeeze into a top eight position and likely European qualification from La Liga.
Michel’s Catalans come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Villarreal at Montilivi the other day, meaning they have suffered just one defeat in their last four matches as they push for Europe.

Real Madrid vs Girona prediction
Girona begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting just four points behind Getafe in eighth and nine points behind Real Betis in fifth, who occupy the likely last UEFA Champions League spot. Girona have turned things around and will pose a real threat to a now majorly under pressure Madrid side. Real Madrid simply must win this week, or the title race is all but over, and they should still get themselves over the line, but Girona will fancy themselves to bloody the nose of the 15-time European champions.
