Contents
Barcelona to Win
The Blaugrana enters this game after a great stretch of results, not only in La Liga, but also in Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey, where they secured a spot in semi-finals after beating Real Sociedad.
Meanwhile, Girona finally lost in the last round of La Liga after seven games without a defeat, so they are in good form as well. Still, Barcelona is a couple of levels above Girona and these are the matches that they need to win to stay at the top, so our prediction is for Barca to win the match.
Ansu Fati to Score at Any Time
With Robert Lewandowski out once again as he serves the final game of this three-match ban, Barcelona will have to rely on other offensive weapons against Girona as well.
Although there are more than a few players who can find their way to the net, Ansu Fati seems like the best choice to score a goal against Girona as he is the one that plays closest to the goal.

Potential Lineups, Recent Form, and Team News for Girona vs Barcelona
While the guests are obviously the favourites, this can be an interesting game. So, let's check the teams out in more detail now:
Girona
After seven matches in La Liga without a loss, Girona succumbed to Villarreal in the last round, but they only lost that match by one goal as well, so the newly-promoted team is clearly having a very good season in the top flight. At the moment, Girona is in the middle of the standings, but they are still only four points ahead of the first team in the relegation zone, so they can't get too relaxed.
Meanwhile, David Lopez, Reinier, and Ibrahima Kebe are out with injuries, while Santiago Bueno is suspended after his red card in the last round.
Girona Predicted Lineup:
Gazzaniga – Martinez, Hernandez, Espinosa, Gutierrez – Romeu, A. Garcia – Riquelme, Martin, Villa – Castellanos
Barcelona
After beating Real Madrid in Spanish Super Cup final earlier this month, Barcelona continued with great results and they enter this game after a win over Real Sociedad in Copa del Rey, which saw the team secure their place in the semis of the competition. Meanwhile, Barcelona is still three points ahead of Real Madrid in the title race in La Liga, so everything is going well for Blaugrana right now.
Except for suspended Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona doesn't have any further squad issues at this time.
Barcelona Predicted Lineup:
Ter Stegen – Kounde, Araujo, Christensen, Balde – Pedri, Busquets, F. de Jong – Dembele, Fati, Gavi

Player to Watch: Ousmane Dembele
Since we offered a prediction of Barcelona beating Girona, we decided to choose Ousmane Dembele as the player to watch in this match since he's been the team's most consistent performer this season after Robert Lewandowski.
The French winger has five goals and five assists in seventeen appearances for Barca this season and he started in thirteen games in La Liga for the team, so he is certainly one of the main offensive threats that Girona has to pay attention to in this game.
