Barcelona vs Girona Predictions

• Barcelona have won ten of their last 11 matches in all competitions
• Girona are without a win in six league games
• Barca have kept five clean sheets in their last seven league fixtures

Rampant Barca going through the gears

Eight wins in a row has got Barcelona’s head in front in the La Liga title race and they will be expected to maintain that dominance at home to Girona, who are struggling to live up to last season’s lofty expectations.

The Catalan giants are now 19 games unbeaten in all competitions, having also made the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and that spells trouble for a Girona side that sit 13th, which is a long way off last season’s third-placed finish.

The visitors lost some key personnel over the summer on the back of that successful season and they head to Barcelona on a winless run of six.

Girona have especially struggled on their travels, winning only three of their 14 away games this season, and they have been outclassed on their trips to La Liga’s elite.

Girona failing to hit last season’s heights

Míchel’s men have lost to nil away at Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao and they are three nearest pursuers to Barca in the title race.

So this looks a tough ask for them and Barcelona, despite being renowned for their attacking qualities, may be able to triumph with a clean sheet.

Hansi Flick’s hosts have recorded shutouts in five of their last seven league wins, only conceding away at Sevilla and Atletico in that timeframe.

Correct-score punters may want to side with a 3-0 win, which was the scoreline in Barca’s last home league game against Osasuna. Girona were also beaten by that margin away at Atletico Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.
