Barcelona, on a five-game winning streak, will aim to strengthen their title push as they host Girona at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys on Sunday.
Hansi Flick’s men lead La Liga by three points, while Girona, sitting 13th, hope to revive their season and secure a top-half finish.
🔵Barcelona Eye 4th Straight Home Win Against ‘Masters’| Home Win = 1.29💵
Barcelona have been dominant at home, winning their last four La Liga matches with an aggregate score of 10-0 at the temporary home grounds, but now they face a side they’ve not managed to beat at home in their last two such encounters.
Following their convincing 3-0 win over Osasuna, they will look to keep the momentum ahead of key fixtures in the Copa del Rey and Champions League. Girona stunned Barcelona twice last season, but Flick's in-form squad will aim to prevent another upset this time.
🔴Girona Search for First Win in 6 Games| Away Win = 9.53💵
Girona have failed to win any of their last six La Liga games and sit just seven points clear of the relegation zone, and desperately need a result, but unfortunately for them, this game is against the most in-form team in the league.
While their away record against Barcelona is poor, they are unbeaten in all their last two visits to their neighbours, but they will need a near-perfect performance to take anything from this derby clash, given Barca’s form.
🗝️Key Players & Team News📰:
Barcelona will miss Olmo due to an adductor injury, while Raphinha returns after missing the Osasuna game. Lewandowski is set to start, and Araujo could return to the lineup after being on the bench midweek.
For Girona, Donny van de Beek is suspended, while Abel Ruiz, Jhon Solis, and Ivan Martin remain out injured. Cristhian Stuani, who has scored four times against Barcelona, could lead the attack.
