The top two in La Liga will lock horns on Saturday evening, with Real Madrid welcoming Girona to Bernabeu.
Real Madrid are currently top of the table, two points ahead of second-placed Girona, who are enjoying a quite remarkable campaign.
Los Blancos will enter the match off the back of a 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid, while Girona were held to a goalless draw by Real Sociedad in their last match.
A win for Carlo Ancelotti's side would open up a five-point advantage at the summit, and they recorded a 3-0 victory when the two teams went to battle earlier this season.
Here, Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at the head-to-head record and previous meetings between the two sides.
Head-to-head record
Previous meetings: 9
Real Madrid wins: 5
Draws: 1
Girona wins: 3
Girona's performance level this season is even more remarkable considering that they are in just their fourth-ever campaign in Spain's top flight.
As a result, there have only ever been nine meetings between these two sides, with seven of those coming in La Liga, while the pair also locked horns in the Copa del Rey back in 2019.
The first-ever clash between the pair came in October 2017, with Girona incredibly recording a 2-1 victory, but Real Madrid won the reverse match at Bernabeu 6-3.
Real Madrid then recorded a 4-1 win in their La Liga clash towards the start of the 2018-19 campaign, before beating the Catalan side twice in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, recording a 4-2 victory at home and 3-1 success away to secure a 7-3 aggregate win.
Girona's second win over Real Madrid was a famous one, recording a 2-1 victory at Bernabeu in February 2019, before the points were shared in a 1-1 draw in their next game in the Spanish capital in October 2022.
The Red and Whites beat Real Madrid 4-2 on home soil in the league last season, but as mentioned, Los Blancos were 3-0 winners when the pair locked horns earlier in the 2023-24 campaign.
Real Madrid therefore lead the head-to-head record five wins to Girona's three, with just one draw occurring, while Los Blancos have scored 25 times to Girona's 16.
Of the players still active at both clubs, Cristhian Stuani is the leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, having scored five times against Real Madrid during his time at Girona.
