Barcelona look for three points against Girona away
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Montilivi, Girona
Barcelona will be full of confidence having won against Eibar in midweek. They will travel away to Girona for the Catalan derby.
Girona have players like Pablo Maffeo, Aleix Garcia and Douglas Luiz who will be crucial for them in this season.
Girona recently played three games in La Liga and picked up only a point. They will need to improve on that performance.
If Barcelona are able to win a sixth game in a row, they will continue to be on top of La Liga and ahead of Real Madrid.
So it should be good game on Saturday as both teams will look try to give their all.
Team news and possible line-ups
David Timor and Jose Aurelio Suarez will remain unavailable for Girona for Saturday’s game. Marc Muniesa and Carlos Pianas are doubts for the Barcelona game.
As for Barcelona, Samuel Umtiti, Jordi Alba and Luis Suarez are all expected to start. Nelson Semedo and Gerard Pique might be given a rest on Saturday.
Sergi Roberto and Javier Mascherano are expected to replace them likely. While upfront we will see Leo Messi and Luis Suarez partnering with Aleix Vidal.
Girona XI : Iraizoz, Bernardo, Alcala, Juanpe, Maffeo, Granell, Pons, Benitez, Portu, Garcia, Stuani.
Barcelona XI : Ter Stegen, Roberto, Mascherano, Umtiti, Alba, Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta, Vidal, Messi, Suarez.
Prediction
One can say that Barcelona will be comfortable victors in Saturday’s game, but in La Liga anything can happen. Although I expect Barcelona to win with Messi probably scoring. Luis Suarez will also be key for the Blaugranes. I think it will be a 2-0 scoreline.
