Girona – Barcelona Preview
Girona hosts Barcelona at the Montilivi in one of the Catalan derbies of La Liga. Now it’s a good moment to stay with us and our best free football tips for today. Are you ready?
Girona started the season a bit slow, but they achieved two wins in the last two rounds – against Osasuna and Sevilla. In these two games Girona scored six goals and didn’t concede a single one. Maybe this is a sign that Michel’s team is improving and we should expect better results from the Champions League participants.
Before the break Girona paid a visit to Sevilla and enjoyed a solid 2-0 win at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Ivan Martin opened the score for the visitors while Abel Ruiz from a penalty kick made it 2-0. It was Abel’s second goal for the season.
What’s interesting is that Abel Ruiz is one of the players who came from Barcelona’s youth academy La Masia. Now he will face his former club.
Barcelona are leaders in La Liga with a perfect record of four wins from four matches played. The new manager Hansi Flick deserves praise for the job he has done at the club. The German tactician is doing some good things with the team.
Just before the international break, Barcelona achieved a spectacular 7-0 win against Real Valladolid at home. Raphinha scored a hattrick for Barca while Lewandowski, Kounde, Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres also scored.
Ansu Fati could return for Barcelona against Girona. The striker is ready to return after his last injury. Meanwhile Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Marc Bernal remain sidelined with injuries.
We don’t expect surprises regarding Barcelona’s line-up against Girona. Players like Inigo Martinez, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Raphinha and Lewandowski should lead the team. And of course – keep an eye on Lamine Yamal.
That’s the best free football tips for today for the La Liga fixture between Girona and Barcelona. Good luck!
