Week 12 features a match on Sunday Oct 30th, where Real Madrid plays host to Girona in a clash of these two extremely mismatched La Liga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 18 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 1st placed Real Madrid is fresh off their 2-3 loss against RB Leipzig. Joško Gvardiol scored the first goal for RB Leipzig in the 13th minute, then Christopher Nkunku added another in the 18th minute. Real Madrid looks to continue their winning ways, having won 9 of their last 10, while girona is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Osasuna. Kike Barja struck first for Osasuna in the 37th minute on a feed from Chimy Ávila, but David López got the equalizer for Girona in the 1st minute of the first half’s stoppage time earning them at least the one point. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 9 points in their last 10 matches.
