Girona Preview
Girona arrives to this new commitment after losing 1-0 against Villarreal on the last matchday. That result has the team positioned in the eleventh place of the general standings with 21 points. Considering that they are only 5 units away from the relegation zone, they must take advantage of their home games to continue adding points.
Playing at home is something that this club has been good at, as it has gone undefeated for 5 matches in a row in the domestic tournament. In fact, the team has only lost in one league match since competitions resumed after the World Cup. However, Girona will have to face an opponent against whom it has not been able to win the last 4 matches they have played against each other in the first division.
Probable lineup (4-1-4-1): Paulo Gazzaniga; Arnau Martinez, Juanpe, Bernardo Espinosa, Miguel Gutiérrez; Oriol Romeu; Toni Villa, Aleix García, Yangel Herrera, Rodrigo Riquelme; Valentín Castellanos.
FC Barcelona Preview
At this stage of the season, Barcelona is in great shape. The team was recently crowned champions of the Supercopa, obtaining the first title in the Xavi era. In their last match, it qualified for the semifinals of the Copa del Rey by defeating Real Sociedad.
In the domestic championship, the team leads with a 3 point difference over Real Madrid. Also, it is the team that has conceded the least number of goals in 18 games played, with only 6 goals conceded. It has even kept a clean sheet in 12 of its 14 most recent La Liga matches.
In addition to the good record it has against Girona, Barcelona has also had a good offensive performance when facing them. Taking into account all tournaments, the team has at least scored 2 goals in 7 of the last 8 encounters.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Marc-André ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé, Jordi Alba; Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri; Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembélé.
JefeBet Prediction
For this Girona vs Barcelona match, Barcelona will still be playing without Robert Lewandowski due to his suspension. However, it is possible that the player won’t be needed for this match, as the team will be facing an opponent that is clearly not as good.
Moreover, Ousmane Dembélé seems to be in his best shape since he arrived at this club, which can give his opponents a real headache. With his participation and the great defensive solidity that Xavi has achieved in the league, the visiting team is expected to take all 3 points this Saturday.
Prediction: Moneyline of Barcelona (GIR 0-2 BAR).
