Will the Catalans continue their winning streak?
FC Barcelona are unstoppable in the championship race. At least that is the interim conclusion after 28 matchdays in the Spanish top flight. The Catalans won the midweek game against CA Osasuna 3-0 and are now three points ahead of Real Madrid at the top of the table. Our Barcelona v Girona betting tip for La Liga match day 29 is also for a win for the Blaugrana.
In favor of the Catalans, not only the form curve in recent weeks speaks, but also the away weakness of the upcoming opponent. FC Girona has not won any of the last four away games in the Spanish top flight. The white-reds have even lost three of these four matches and are expected to be the underdog in the Catalan league derby against FC Barcelona.
In the first half of the season, Barca already established a clear balance of power in the first season duel against Girona, winning 4-1 against the “Gironistes”. The Blaugrana thus also ended their long losing streak against Girona. Before that, there were three league derbies in a row without a win against the red and whites. In the second leg of the tie, it is just as obvious to place a forecast on FCB when Barcelona play Girona.
Barcelona – Statistics & current form
FC Barcelona have not lost a single competitive game this calendar year. The Catalans have a record of 16-3-0 across competitions this year and have even won five games in a row most recently. In these five encounters, Barca have particularly flexed their muscles in offense.
Hansi Flick’s team have scored a total of 15 goals in these five matches. Barcelona scored three goals during the week in the postponed game against CA Osasuna. The Catalans played in the home game against the Basques with an xG ratio of 3.19 and dominated the game at will with 74% possession.
After the strong performance under the week, it is obvious that FC Barcelona will also win the Sunday game against FC Girona despite the short regeneration time, thus ending the negative streak against the Catalan league rivals. Since February 2018, there has been no victory to celebrate in the home derbies against Girona.
Next offensive spectacle for the Blaugrana?
Considering how strong the Blaugrana have been in recent home games, the only question in Sunday’s game against Girona is how high FCB will win this time. In their last four home games, Barca have scored 3+ goals per game. It is quite possible that they will continue in this vein in the league derby against FC Girona.
Betting fans who want to place a bet on the next offensive spectacle of the Blaugrana in the Sunday game between Barcelona and Girona can also use the Betano sports betting site.
Hansi Flick has to do without five players in the squad due to injury in Sunday’s game against FC Girona. Compared to the starting lineup that played against CA Osasuna during the week, no major changes are expected. The only obvious change is the inclusion of Robert Lewandowski in the starting lineup.
Girona – statistics & current form
FC Girona are currently in a slump and have not won any of their last six league games. The white-reds have a record of 0-3-3 in this period and are lagging behind the high expectations in the Spanish top flight. It is quite possible that the negative streak will continue against FC Barcelona. After all, the match is taking place on foreign soil.
In 14 away games in the current league season, Girona have only managed to bag three points three times. The white-reds have lost three of their last four away games in La Liga since the away win (1-0) at Deportivo Alavés. In these four encounters, FC Girona have a record of 0-1-3 and have conceded a total of eight goals.
If you still want to bet on the guests at Barcelona against Girona, you can also use the betting apps of the betting providers for betting on it. In addition to the regular betting options on the 1X2 market, the bookmakers also offer many other betting options for the match between Barca and Girona.
Will the slide continue at Girona?
The visitors have already conceded 41 goals in 28 league games this season. Statistically, Míchel’s team thus has the seventh weakest defense in the league. Since the victory against Alavés, there has been at least one goal scored against the white-reds in each of the last 11 competitive games.
The negative streak is likely to continue against the Blaugrana’s offensive line-up. Head coach Míchel has to make do without five players in the squad due to injury in this match. Although Girona disappointed against Valencia before the international break, no major changes are expected in the starting lineup.
Cristhian Stuani leads the club’s scoring charts with six goals. However, the “veteran” has only been used as a substitute recently.
Barcelona – Girona Head to head / H2H record
Barcelona leads the direct comparison against Girona with a record of 7-2-2. Both defeats came in the last three league games. Girona won against Barcelona in the 2023-24 season in the first and second rounds. The Blaugrana got revenge with a clear win in the first round of the current season. In the return leg, FCB is now aiming for the next three points.
Barcelona – Girona betting tip
Barcelona is currently unstoppable. The Catalans have a record of 16-3-0 across all competitions in this calendar year, making them not only favorites to win the La Liga 2024/25 championship, but also among the favorites to win the Champions League 2024/25. They will be looking to continue their recent winning streak against FC Girona on Sunday evening.
In the first leg, Barca already won 4-1 against the white-reds. A similar result is also likely in the second leg. Girona, after all, have not won any of their last six league games and have a poor record of 0-3-3 in that period. A point win at FC Barcelona can be ruled out.
We place our Barcelona vs. Girona tip at odds of 1.70 on a victory for the home side with a lead of at least two goals. We are using five out of ten possible units for our prediction. Alternatively, bets on at least three goals for the home side are also recommended. Bets on this already paid off in the postponed game against Osasuna.
