Girona have not won any of their six matches against Atletico Madrid in LaLiga (D3 L3), losing each of the last three - they have only faced Real Sociedad (P7 D5 L2) and Real Betis (P7 D2 L5) more times without a win in the competition.

Atlético de Madrid are unbeaten in their four visits to Girona in all competitions, three in LaLiga and one in the Copa del Rey (W1 D3), scoring exactly one goal in each of the last three visits.

Girona have won three of their last four LaLiga matches against opponents from Comunidad de Madrid (L1), just one win fewer than in their previous 15 matches in the competition against these opponents (W4 D6 L5).

Atlético de Madrid have lost each of their last three away games in LaLiga and could string together four away defeats in the competition for the first time under Diego Pablo Simeone.

Girona have scored 42 goals in 18 LaLiga 2023-24 matches, more than any other team in the competition, making it the highest scoring record by a team excluding Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona after 18 matches in a campaign in the competition since Real Zaragoza in 1961-62 (49).

Atlético de Madrid have scored nine goals thanks to substitutes in LaLiga this season, more than any other team this campaign.

Girona striker Artem Dovbyk has scored in each of his last three LaLiga appearances (4 goals) and could become the club's third player to score in four or more in the competition, after Cristhian Stuani (5 in November 2017) and Valentín Castellanos (4 in May 2023).

Cristhian Stuani has scored three goals in three games for Girona at Montilivi in LaLiga against Atlético de Madrid, including a brace in August 2017.

Excluding own goals, Atlético de Madrid have scored eight goals in LaLiga against Girona, with three of those scored by Angel Correa, including two of the last three.

Girona coach Míchel Sánchez has not won any of the five games he has coached in LaLiga against Atlético de Madrid (D1 L4) and only against Real Sociedad (P6 D4 L2) has he faced a side more times in the competition without winning any.
