Barcelona secured their spot in the Champions League play-offs and now they can focus on La Liga, where they’re a bit behind the leaders. They can concentrate for some top matches. They proved it in the previous game against Atlético (1:0). Their opponents managed to create only 0,6 xG. Barcelona also didn’t allow Real Madrid (1:2) to make an attempt in the first half.
Girona are a bright and interesting side, but the games against top teams still remain a difficult thing for them. They have already been defeated by Real Madrid (0:3) this season. It’s still a miracle that Girona are among the sides that fight for the title after 15 rounds. Besides, their key midfielder Yangel Herrera (4 goals) won’t be available for this game.
Girona score 2,27 goals per game on average, which is the best result in the league. But they do it in games versus Almería (5:2) and Osasuna (4:2). Top teams are another thing. Barcelona has kept the clean sheet in every second match. They have been leaders in number of games won with a 1:0 score (15) since the beginning of the last season. This is the record result for a team from the top 5 European leagues.
Girona will lose their top place, it’s time. So I think that the favourite will win.
