FC Barcelona vs Girona: Match preview | La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona return to league action as the international break comes to an end. Unfortunately, however, the Catalan giants have no room to breathe, and they must aim for victory in this upcoming game against Girona no matter what.

At home for this fixture, La Blaugrana seriously need to get their head back in the game. After two successive losses, one in the UEFA Champions League and a recent one in La Liga, Hansi Flick’s team needs a win here to temporarily return to the top of the table.

FC Barcelona vs Girona – Match Details

Match Overview:

However, this would be far from an easy game for Barça to emerge victorious from. After all, several key players are already sidelined, and it is a mystery as to how exactly Hansi Flick’s team will line up for this Catalan encounter.

Moreover, in terms of form, things do not look that great either. Over the course of the last five games across all competitions, La Blaugrana have managed three wins but then have two consecutive losses in their last two games.

Furthermore, they have scored ten goals in those last five games but have also conceded eight goals in return. Hardly a goal difference to brag about, and it continues to showcase the vulnerabilities of this team and partially Flick’s system as well.

Girona, however, are not exactly flying high either. They have three draws, one loss, and one win in their last five games. Moreover, they have scored just four goals across those games but have conceded seven goals as well.

However, these things hardly matter on the day of the game itself, and everything will be thrown out of the window once the whistle blows. Barça, no matter how, need to manage a win in this game and at least try to put pressure on Real Madrid for now.
