Barcelona vs Girona Prediction and Betting Tips for Saturday’s clash at Montjuic sees Hansi Flick’s men looking to rebound after consecutive defeats. The Catalan giants trail Real Madrid by two points, and a win would propel them back to the top of the La Liga table. For more insights, check out LaLiga Stats from our tipsters, who highlight Barcelona’s potent attack and Girona’s shaky defence as key talking points.
- Barcelona have scored an average of 3.67 goals per match this season in La Liga.
- Girona are struggling defensively, conceding 2.33 goals per game on average.
- Both teams have seen over 1.5 goals in all matches so far this season.
- Barcelona won 7 of 11 historical meetings against Girona, scoring 35 goals.
Barcelona’s recent form has been a rollercoaster. The 4-1 loss to Sevilla was a wake-up call, following a 2-1 Champions League defeat to PSG. Flick faces mounting pressure to stabilize his side before the big trip to Bernabeu later this month. Injuries are piling up, with Lewandowski, Gavi, Ter Stegen, Raphinha, and Dani Olmo sidelined. That said, the return of Lamine Yamal and Fermin Lopez offers a glimmer of hope. Can the youngsters step up? Toni Fernandez and Roony Bardghji might just have to.
Girona, by contrast, are battling to find their rhythm in La Liga. Sitting 18th with just six points, Michel’s side are fragile at the back, conceding 2.33 goals per game, though they did enjoy a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Valencia before the international break. Key absences include Alejandro Frances, Ivan Martin, and Donny van de Beek, leaving the squad stretched. Even so, Vladyslav Vanat has impressed since joining, netting twice in five appearances. Girona are a side in transition, and they’ll hope to exploit Barcelona’s injuries.
Historically, Barcelona have dominated this fixture. Seven wins from 11 encounters and an average of over three goals per match underline their superiority. Last season, they beat Girona 4-1 both home and away, though Girona did enjoy victories in 2023-24. With an attacking lineup featuring Rashford and Bardghji, Barcelona’s firepower remains formidable. Girona’s defensive struggles and limited attacking options suggest a tough afternoon ahead for the visitors.
Set-piece stats are telling. Barcelona win 6.67 corners per match while Girona concede 8.67, highlighting potential dominance in attacking areas. Expect open play, multiple goal chances, and possibly a high-scoring affair. Still, Girona’s resilience can’t be ignored, they’ve gone unbeaten in three of their last five league matches. It’s hard to say how this will end, but the odds tilt heavily toward the Blaugrana, who are desperate to get back on track and keep the pressure on Real Madrid at the top of the LaLiga Stats table.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick addressed concerns over player selection and injuries ahead of the clash with Girona. He emphasized that Lamine Yamal’s start was based on merit, dismissing claims of club pressure, and highlighted the importance of integrating returning players like Fermín while managing fitness levels. Flick also praised Girona’s style and noted the challenges posed by international breaks, stressing that La Masia talents could provide valuable options. Source: as.com.
Barcelona’s attacking form this season has been electric, averaging 3.67 goals per match in La Liga. They’ve scored at least twice in every game, and over 1.5 goals have been recorded in 100% of their matches. Girona, on the other hand, have been leaky at the back, conceding 2.33 goals per match. Historically, Barcelona have dominated this fixture, winning seven of their 11 encounters and netting 35 goals, averaging over three per game. With top scorers like Rashford and Bardghji in the lineup, plus young talents like Toni Fernandez ready to make an impact, Barcelona should comfortably cover the -1.5 handicap. Girona’s limited offensive threat, scoring only 0.67 goals per game and their injury absences make them unlikely to keep this close. Even if Girona defend resolutely, Barcelona’s relentless home form suggests a multi-goal margin is probable.
