Girona-Barcelona is a match on the nineteenth day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 16:15: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
To finish the first leg in front of everyone. This is a goal well within Barcelona’s grasp as they visit Girona, a quiet mid-table side who obviously have no intention of being the sacrificial victims. Of course, the hosts, despite putting everything they have into the game, are unlikely to score. The gap is huge.
And then there is also the moment of the Catalans, who have not missed a beat since time immemorial and who seem to have got into the right gear. The one that could lead to victory in La Liga. Which, as usual, is a matter for two teams: the one coached by Xavi and the one led by Ancelotti. But there is a whiff, in Spain, of the upheaval. The one that could oust the Madrilenians from the throne they conquered last season.
In short, the match that closes the Catalans’ first half of the season looks good and addressed, despite the absences of Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, both disqualified, who will not be in the match. But up front Xavi has the elements that can decide the game at any time, and there is no argument about that either.

The Prediction
Barcelona should have no difficulty at all in taking this match and shooting ahead at the end of the first leg. The Catalans are in form, they are beating like blacksmiths – in the good sense of the word and obviously referring to the path they are on – and also mentally after the Super Cup victory they are living a magical moment. In short, an away victory match in a challenge that should also provide at least three goals in total.
