Barcelona takes on Girona at home on Sunday in what could be the game of the year in La Liga. For Barcelona, they sit at 10-1-4 and have a real chance of finishing in first place if they can continue to play well.
With Girona also being an unexpected top team in the league, expect fireworks throughout the match. As for Barcelona, they’ve won three of their last five matches and have a draw in there to go with it. This is the first time the two Catalan teams will play each other this season.
Robert Lewandowski has been particularly impressive among the standout performers at Barcelona this season. With seven goals and three assists to his name, he ranks among the top five goal scorers in La Liga. Their success this season can be largely attributed to their capability to maintain a high standard in defense
In La Liga, Barcelona has conceded only 14 goals, making them the team with the third-lowest number of goals allowed in the league so far.
Girona has no control over Real Madrid’s performance in their next game, but they stand a chance to reach first place depending on the outcome of Madrid’s match on Saturday. Currently, both Girona and Real Madrid are tied at 38 points.
Girona has been excelling, particularly in their offensive play. They boast several players among the top-30 in the league for points, with Artem Dovbyk leading the charge. Dovbyk has netted seven goals, tying him for the fifth-highest goal scorer in the league.
They’ve won four of their last five and tied 1-1 against Athletic de Bilbao in the one game they didn’t win. Girona has scored 34 goals, the highest in La Liga this season, showcasing their dominance. However, their upcoming match could be their most significant test yet.
Barcelona and Girona haven’t played much in history, meeting just six times. Barcelona has won four of those games, while Girona hasn’t won any. The two other games ended in draws. The games have been easy for Barcelona, too, scoring 14 goals and giving up just three.
Bet hereThe standout player in this matchup is Robert Lewandowski, but not for the reason you might be thinking. Lewandowski, despite scoring seven goals, has struggled for the caliber of player he is this season. His recent struggles have been a call for concern this season for Barcelona as fans are getting impatient with the aging star. These are the games that he needs to perform in after receiving his huge contract
This is the tale of two teams doing two things at a high level. Girona has the most goals in the league with 34, and Barcelona has given up the third-fewest goals. The question remains of which one will overcome the other.
Considering Girona’s recent form at home, predicting a draw in this match seems like a reasonable expectation. Barcelona has dominated this match-up in recent seasons, and it may continue on Sunday. However, Girona needs to show that they’ve closed the gap and at least come away with a draw.
Barcelona is 1.475 to win the game, while Girona is 5.9. A draw at 4.84 odds is the top play on the board due to Girona’s recent play.
Due to the oddsmakers giving us 4.84 odds on a draw, it’s a must-play. This value is way too high for two teams that have had comparable play this season.
