MADRID (Interstat) — Club Atlético de Madrid hosts Girona on Sunday, May 17, 2026, in a La Liga matchup that carries stakes for both sides.

Atlético enters the game after a 2-1 victory at Osasuna on Tuesday, its second win in three outings. Prior to that, the team suffered a 1-0 home loss to Celta Vigo on May 9. Diego Simeone’s side has been erratic: it beat Valencia 2-0 on May 2 but lost to Elche 3-2 on April 22 and drew 2-2 with Real Sociedad on April 18. Overall, Atlético has dropped points in six of its last 10 league games, with only three wins in that stretch.

Girona, meanwhile, has endured a winless run of four matches. Its most recent result was a 1-1 draw at Real Sociedad on Thursday. That followed a 1-1 home draw with Rayo Vallecano on May 11 and a 1-0 loss at Mallorca on May 1. The team’s last victory came April 6, a 1-0 win at Villarreal. Girona has shown resilience, taking points from Real Madrid (1-1 on April 10) and Barcelona (2-1 on Feb. 16) earlier this season, but has also been held to draws by Levante and Deportivo Alaves.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Atlético will lean on its home form, though recent results at the Metropolitano have been mixed. Girona will aim to end its winless skid and build on a solid defensive showing against Real Sociedad.

Kickoff is scheduled for Sunday evening.
