Barcelona-Girona is a match valid for the 16th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 9 p.m.: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Barcelona also to help Real Madrid. Incredible but true, that’s right. Because yesterday’s draw by Ancelotti’s team would not only allow Xavi’s troop to move closer to the top of the standings with a win over Girona, but also leave the team coached by the Italian coach alone at the top of the table. And that is no small feat.
Now, in another moment in history, we would say that Barcelona would have no problem beating a team that was built to make a quiet championship and that never, ever expected to be at this moment in front of the Catalans precisely. Who, by winning, would not even be able to catch Girona since they are ahead by four points. Now instead we say that yes, Barcelona will most likely win this game as well, but it will not be a walk in the park as one might expect from reading the lineups that will take the field from the first minute. And that is certainly good for the appeal of the Spanish league.
In the last confrontation between the two teams, that of last April, at the Camp Nou ended 0-0, while Barcelona had managed to impose themselves in January, in the last match of the first half of last year. In short, difficulties Xavi’s troop has always had them. But from here to say that tonight could end differently from a victory for the hosts is a long way off.
The Prediction
Too important match for Barcelona. Who on paper is clearly stronger than Girona and who will be able to take a victory that would put things back on track in a way inside the Spanish league. A challenge of at least three goals overall. And three points to Lewandowski (also look out for a goal from him) and co.
Barcelona-Girona likely lineups
BARCELONA (4-3-3): Pena; Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Cancelo; F de Jong, Gundogan, Pedri; Raphinha, Lewandowski, Felix.
GIRONA (3-4-3): Gazzaniga; E Garcia, D Lopez, Blind; Tsygankov, Couto, A Garcia, Gutierrez; Martin, Dobvyk, Savio.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 3-1
