Team News

Girona
Barcelona
  • Girona will face Barcelona at Montilivi without Oriol Romeu due to a contract clause, along with injured players Jastin and Artero.
  • Yangel Herrera could make a return after training with the team following an injury, despite missing out on international duty.
  • Barcelona will be without the injured Araujo, Gavi, Christensen, Fermín, Frenkie de Jong, and Bernal.
  • On a positive note, Ansu Fati has recovered and trained with the team, while Dani Olmo is expected to be fit despite missing Spain's match due to a minor injury.

Prediction

  • The league leader faces a tough test this Sunday at Montilivi against Girona, who finished third last season and currently sits fifth in La Liga. The match is significant as Girona makes its Champions League debut this year, and a victory against Barca would provide a boost heading into the Champions League.
  • Barcelona has had a perfect start to the season with 4 wins out of 4, firing on all cylinders in attack. On the other hand, Girona has won 2, drawn 1, and lost 1. Despite summer departures and defensive vulnerabilities, they remain potent in attack, failing to score in just 1 of their opening 4 league games.
  • Girona beat Barcelona by a score line of 4-2 home and away last season.
