Girona v Atlético Madrid: Forecast, Odds and Bets

May 23, 2025

As the 2024/25 Primera División season draws to a close, Girona FC will welcome Atlético Madrid to the Municipal de Montilivi on Sunday, 25th May 2025. The match kicks off at 3:00PM GMT+3, which corresponds to 14:00 CEST in Italy, Germany, France and Spain, and 13:00 BST in the UK.

This final matchday clash is more than just a fixture; it represents contrasting narratives. Girona, having secured 41 points from 37 games, sit in 15th place and are looking to end a rollercoaster campaign on a positive note. Atlético Madrid, currently third, still have everything to play for as they aim to consolidate their spot in the upper echelons of La Liga.

How are both teams coming into this?

Girona’s season has been a stark departure from last year’s fairy tale when they finished third and qualified for the Champions League. This time around, they’ve managed just three points from eight European matches and have spent much of the campaign flirting with the relegation zone. Their recent form, however, shows some resilience, with two victories from the last four league outings giving them a bit of breathing room above the drop.

Atlético Madrid have enjoyed a more stable campaign, occupying a Champions League spot for much of the season. While they have faced occasional dips in form, they have maintained enough consistency to keep pressure on the top two. With third place still up for grabs and a chance to finish strongly, they’ll be keen to bring all three points home from Montilivi.

Our forecast

Our view is that Atlético Madrid will head into this game as clear favourites given their superior form and the slim stakes for Girona. We expect a disciplined defensive display from Diego Simeone’s side, limiting Girona’s chances and controlling the midfield battle. A narrow win for the visitors looks most likely.

For punters seeking goal markets, a low-scoring affair seems probable. We’re tipping an under 2.5 goals outcome, as both teams have shown defensive solidity of late. Should Girona score, it may come late on as Atlético manage their game with possession and pragmatic defending.
