Girona vs Barcelona Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 15th September 2024

Girona enjoy home advantage, when visitors Barcelona swing by this coming Sunday for a clash in the LaLiga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

A glance at the LaLiga table reveals that the current difference between the teams is five points and four places.

Girona find themselves as number 5 in the league table with seven points from their initial four matches this campaign. As number 1, five points above them, Barcelona have played four rounds this season.

Both Girona and Barcelona go into the match with the aim of improving or at least consolidate their current position in the upper echelons of the LaLiga standings. Neither will be short on motivation this coming Sunday.

Barcelona scored a decent 28 goals in ten outings, or an average of 2.8 goals per game. They allowed a total of ten goals against, an average of one goals per match, while achieving four clean sheets.

Girona won the last two meetings against Barcelona, as they followed up a 4-2 win by beating their upcoming opponent by a 4-2 score.

Girona vs Barcelona Prediction

Girona Form

In the previous three matches, Girona lost 3-0 against Atletico Madrid, beat Osasuna by 4-0 and won 0-2 against Sevilla. Girona showed little mercy in their past six matches at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 22 times, while letting in six themselves.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Barcelona, as they look to build a title challenge.

Barcelona Form

Barcelona look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against Athletic Club, who were defeated by 2-1. Then, Rayo Vallecano got outclassed in a 1-2 win, before beating Real Valladolid by 7-0. Barcelona performed a very admirable four wins in six LaLiga away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored 12 times, while also conceding ten goals.

Anything lower than at least a second place finish would probably be considered a disappointment for Barcelona, as they look to build a title challenge.

With the results that Barcelona have picked up lately, we favour them to grab another win, when going up against Girona at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.
