Barcelona vs Girona predictions

Barcelona sit top of La Liga with 63 points from 28 matches. They have won 20, drawn three and lost five.

Barca are also the highest scorers in the league with 78 goals, they have scored 19 more than their closest rivals Real Madrid.

The Catalans’ mid-season blip now seems to be well and truly in the past. Not only have they won eight in a row in La Liga, they have also won nine of their last ten.

Hansi Flick’s team were in action as recently as last Thursday. A 3-0 win over Osasuna in their rearranged fixture was their fifth straight win in all competitions.

Goals from Ferran Torres, Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski sealed the win and ensured that the league leaders hit the ground running after the latest international break.

Girona started the match week 13th in the table with 34 points from 28 matches. The Catalans have been in poor form in recent weeks, with no wins in their last six, and just one in their previous nine.

There is some light at the end of the tunnel for head coach Michel’s team. The White and Reds are on a run of three draws.

A three match losing streak was broken with a 2-2 draw at home to Celta on Matchday 26. That point was backed up with a 1-1 draw away to Espanyol on Matchday 27.

Then on Matchday 28 an improving Valencia then held the Catalans to a third successive stalemate.

Diego Lopez put Valencia into a 1-0 lead after 58 minutes. But Girona hit back in front of their home fans, with Cristhian Stuani coming off the bench to equalise on 64 minutes and ensure Michel’s team went into the international break three matches unbeaten.

Albeit, three matches without a win.

Barcelona to win and BTTS

Barcelona has a fixture pile up on the horizon. Furthermore, this is already their second match back from the international break.

Despite Girona being the fresher of the two teams, and Barca potentially having one eye on upcoming fixtures, it is simply impossible to back against the hosts in their current form.
