Barcelona vs Girona Preview

 

Barcelona vs Girona

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio Camp Nou

Date: 24th February 2018

Kick-off time – 19:45 GMT

Barcelona may be heading closer to clinching another league title this season, but they have not been their most outstanding this season and on Tuesday, Chelsea proved that they are a vulnerable side who can be beaten on a good day.

They face their Catalan neighbours in this game and after dropping points against Espanyol and Getafe, they are under pressure to get back to winning ways and keep the points gap between them and Atletico Madrid which is currently just 7.

They have netted an average of 2.64 goals per home game this season, but Girona are a strong side and that may not scare them.

Girona are one of the most impressive new comers this season and they come into this game sitting in 8th position in the league table.

They have collected 11 points from their last 6 games and lost just 1 game (1-0) against Sevilla in that run of matches while they also held Atletico Madrid to a draw during that period of time.

Only Barcelona has won over them among the league’s top 3 this season.

Girona have also impressively avoided a defeat in 67% of their away games this season.
