The La Liga match between Girona and Athletic Bilbao will take place at Montilivi on Tuesday at 1:30 am IST.
In a highly anticipated match on Monday night, Girona aims to secure their 12th win in the remarkable 2023-24 La Liga season as they face Athletic Bilbao. Currently leading the table, the home team has amassed 34 points from the initial 13 matches. In contrast, Athletic Bilbao holds the fifth position with a strong start, accumulating 24 points from their first 13 games.
Girona’s extraordinary season has surprised even their most devoted fans, boasting a record of 11 wins, one draw, and one loss in 13 matches, securing the top spot with 34 points. While currently two points ahead of second-placed Real Madrid, their position might shift depending on Real Madrid’s result against Cadiz. Girona maintains a four-point lead over third-placed Barcelona. Despite conceding the most goals in the top four (16), they lead in scoring with 31 goals, three more than Real Madrid and five more than Barcelona. In only their fourth La Liga season, Girona’s impressive form includes six consecutive wins, with their last five in La Liga, defeating Rayo Vallecano 2-1 before the international break.
While Athletic’s season hasn’t matched Girona’s in terms of numerical dominance, the Basque side has a respectable record of seven wins, three draws, and three losses from 13 matches, securing 24 points and currently holding fifth place. Although they could drop in the standings before this match, Athletic enters with momentum, winning their last three fixtures across competitions. Recent victories include a 2-1 Copa del Rey success over Rubi and league wins against Villarreal (3-2) and Celta Vigo (4-3). Seeking a European spot this season, Athletic faces a tough test against Girona, who dominated them in both league matches last season, including a 2-1 defeat in the corresponding fixture. Athletic’s last top-flight win against Girona dates back to March 2019.
