Real Madrid – Girona SOCCER PICKS

A lot of value that I see in this statistic bet for the game that will face Girona and Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.

We will need 88 Ceballos passes to get it right. Average in league 42 passes (50 in the Bernabeu), but in 90 minutes of play the average is 90, above what we need, and is that Ceballos except setback, played on Sunday at mid-day 90 minutes (Modric, Isco and Llorente are low).

We do not have too many greens, since there have been few games that he has played in full, and in others due to different factors he also stayed below.

We see in Copa where he has played the most, and we have against Leganes in the Bernabeu gave 82 passes, sharing center field with Casemiro and Valverde that is not the same as playing near Kross with which you associate without stopping. In the round and with everything decided, I played the second part accompanied by Valverde, Cristo and Casemiro, and in attack Vinicius instead of Benzema that is much more associative. He won the Leganes and still 28 passes.

In the tie with own Girona, gave 57 passes in the first leg in 70 minutes, where the Catalans gave more war of the account, and shared center of the field with Modric that tends much more to turn to the right band and not to the left as if Kross does.

In the round and with everything decided, 64 passes only.

In the league he has played many games, in the Bernabeu has a great average of passes per minute, but very rarely has been able to play the 90 minutes.

With Solari on the bench, Ceballos played 80 minutes against Valencia and made 64 passes, 17 against Real in 10 minutes, 13 against Rayo in 18 minutes, 100 against Sevilla in 88 minutes and 91 against Alaves in 90 minutes. Last time I played in the white coliseum.

Nowadays there are two totally opposite teams. One is winning everything, and the other has not won in 2019, and they are already 6 defeats in a row, placing one point down. The Girona arrives with the sensible losses of Mojica, Doumbia and Aday, but the possible one of Muniesa. Despite the compromised situation, I do not see Girona coming out bold, they will look for a draw, and for that they will close, surely with five defenders, looking to get out fast when Madrid allows it.

Therefore I see white domain from beginning to end, and even if there is some disconnection, Madrid is playing very well and the possession will be very high, and it is our player one of those who swells to make walls and play in short, also it benefits us that Kross is the other companion, and that Vinicius plays to be the left band where most of the team’s plays begin.

If nothing strange happens, this line should be loose, for the moment both teams form and the way of playing Ceballos. Good luck to whoever follows it.
