bet365 match odds: Real Madrid 1/3, Draw 4/1, Girona 8/1

Girona have been priced at a massive 8/1 ahead of their first leg clash with Real Madrid in the quarter final of the Copa del Rey.

After eliminating Atletico Madrid in the previous round, Girona will now be looking to inflict a similar blow on neighbours Real as the two teams fight it out for a place in the semi-final.

Girona progressed on the away goal rule after drawing 3-3 at Atletico’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium.  

Scoring three goals away against a side like Atletico is an impressive feat. In fact, Girona have been quite clinical in front of goal scoring nine times in their last five games; this season alone they have scored more goals than fifth place Alaves. Their real problem is a defensive one.

Eusebio Sacristan’s side have been on an eight match winless run and face a horrendous run of fixtures with two games against Real Madrid and one against Barcelona inside six days.

Real, on the other hand, are still looking for consistency. Having won three of their last six games, questions still remain over Santiago Solari’s credentials.

Looking at the head to head record between these two sides, one thing is clear – get ready for goals. Last two meetings alone have produced 14 and with Girona currently struggling defensively, we could see many more this Thursday night.

Recommendations:

Over 3.5 goals at 23/17 bet365

Both team to score at 3/4. bet365
