Command Analysis
Girona
SpainCurrent form
Ahead of a big week for football in the region, with two Catalan clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, Girona and Barcelona go head-to-head in a derby on Sunday. http://www.gironafc.cat/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Girona have warmed up well for the big occasion with back-to-back clean sheets in the league and if they can repeat that here it will be the first time since March 2018 that they have made it three in a row. Ahead of their Champions League clash with PSG, Michel’s men will be hoping the international break has not dampened their momentum. Despite winning both their league encounters last season by identical 4-2 scorelines, those were the only two head-to-head encounters Girona have ever won.
Disqualifications and injuries
Out of the game are Justin (shoulder injury) and Artero (ankle injury).
Interesting trends for betting
- Girona's Abel Ruiz made Barcelona history as the first player born in the 2000s to appear on the pitch for the senior team.
If he is to upset his former employers, he will need to be patient as his last four goals for the club have all come after the break.
Girona have won two games in a row without conceding a goal
If the hosts manage to repeat that today, it will be the first time since March 2018 that they have won three games without conceding a goal in a row.
Estimated line-up : Juan Carlos - Martinez, Juanpe, Akobishvili, Romeru - Urena, China, Almena, Solis, Misehou - Stuani.
Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
Barcelona will be looking to put the record straight after spending the last two weeks in fine spirit at the top of La Liga. After three successive 2-1 wins at the start of the season, Hansi Flick’s side thrashed Valladolid 7-0 before the break and they will need to maintain that fantastic momentum ahead of their Champions League debut at Monaco in midweek. Fans making the short trip to the Montilivi stadium will be hoping the Blaugrana can extend their run of away wins to five this weekend – a feat they last achieved in February 2023. Having scored exactly two goals in their last six away league games, including twice under Flick this season, there will be plenty of entertainment in this derby whatever the outcome.
Disqualifications and injuries
Fati (leg injury), Gavi (knee injury), de Jong (ankle injury), Bernal (knee injury), Araujo (muscle injury) and Lopez (muscle injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Barcelona have scored a goal before half-time in all of their last 12 league games, including three in this game in May
The hosts have lost their main goalscorer, but Girona still has attacking potential. If you add to this the traditional desire to concede, then the fans have a chance for a real football show. In addition, in the last two head-to-head meetings, six goals were scored.
- Barcelona have won 15 of their last 17 matches in La Liga
Even with the losses that Flick has today, his team has a serious squad of classy and experienced players who are ready to solve any problems, especially with a clearly weaker newcomer like Valladolid.
- Robert Lewandowski prefers to take to the pitch early, scoring goals before the break
In two of the last three matches, the Polish striker scored before the break, while in the first 45 minutes, Lewandowski managed to score in head-to-head encounters.
Probable line-up : ter Steggen - Martin, Dminges, Balde, Kunde - Casado, Torres, Gundogan, Viktor - Lewandowski, Yamal.

Bet on the outcome
