Girona vs Barcelona Preview: Team News, Head to Head, Betting Tips

Barcelona will face Girona away from home in LaLiga after dropping down to second in the league following Real Madrid’s win.

The Blaugrana have won three games in a row and can re-take a one-point lead at the top of the league. Arch rivals Real Madrid are in good form, having won their last five, so Hansi Flick’s side can ill-afford to take the foot off the gas.

Girona, on the other hand, are winless in three games and will need a good result soon. The poor run comes after their best patch of form, where they won three games in a row, so they will be a threat at home.

Girona vs Barcelona head to head

Barcelona have the upper hand when it comes to recent meetings. Flick’s side have won their last three games against Girona, with their last loss coming in May 2024. Michel’s side won that encounter 4-2.

Girona have picked up just six wins in what has been a wildly inconsistent season, so they need to be at the top of their game to stop Barcelona.

For Barcelona, Gavi, Andreas Christensen, and Pedri are still unavailable. There are concerns surrounding Raphinha and Marcus Rashford, although the former was seen setting training on fire as usual. It remains to be seen if Flick will start the duo from the onset.
