Team News

Girona
Barcelona
  • Juanpe is out until mid-May at least as he undergoes nose surgery.
  • Viktor Tsygankov returns to the action after his thigh injury and could make his first appearance in seven against Barcelona.
  • Cristhian Stuani is still carrying a slight knock meaning Jastin Garcia (20) could be in the conversation as backup for Artem Dovbyk.
  • Gavi, Alex Balde, and Frenkie De Jong all remain injured, with the three of them working to return, best case scenario, for the beginning of next season.
  • Pau Cubarsi was substituted at half time against Valencia for Inigo Martinez, who could keep his place in the side to give the 17-year-old a rest.
  • Robert Lewandowski notched a hattrick against Valencia and should be sided by Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Prediction

  • Girona and Barcelona face off in a Catalan derby on Saturday night, with the winner taking second place spot in the league going into match day 35. Girona ran riot in a 4-2 victory over Xavi's men back in December, and will aim to use their wide-players to drag Barca's defenders out of position to facilitate expansive and spacious football.
  • Barcelona, averaging 2.1 goals per game, will be a tough challenge for Michel's defence, though the team has only conceded one goal since the return of the Daley Blind and David Lopez partnership in defence.
  • Despite Girona's favourable improvement as of late, Barcelona are a different side to what they were with Xavi now considering extending his contract. They should take the points here.

  • Losing twice to Girona is the lowest point in Barcelona's history. All thanks to fraud Xavi.

  • Beautiful. Send these clown costumed dogs packing Girona!

  • hope Man Utd wont be so brainless to buy Araujo...let him go to Bayern:)

  • 4-4

  • Goals were never in doubt -)

  • LARGE BET WIN DOUBLE Real Madrid v Cadiz over 2.5 goals / Girona v Barca game over 2.5 goals

  • @Marbella @ 2.50 Odds

  • I dont see the point that Xavi insist to play Cancelo as a left back and Kounde as a right back, Xavi is not creative at all like Guardiola and Enrique, Xavi keeps playing with the same tactics the same players the same possession the same boring passing the same slow rythm to reach the goal , this bullshit Barca DNA is ruining barcelona team, the mentality must change to enable barca to win back trophies
