Barcelona cannot afford a wrong step yet
Today's game is extremely important for both teams, who seem to have completely different goals in this edition of the championship.
Of course, Barcelona are fighting for the title, while Girona are trying to get out of the red zone of the table. The Blaugrana are two points behind leaders Real Madrid and Michel Sanchez's side are currently 17th in La Liga with just one win this season.
However, the Spanish champions are coming off two disappointing results, both recorded before the competitive break caused by national team matches – a stinging 1-4 defeat to Sevilla in the league and a 1-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
On the other hand, Girona achieved the first success of the season in the very last stage of La Liga, when they beat Valencia 2-1.
The last meeting between the two teams took place on March 30, 2025. Back then, Barcelona beat Girona 4-1. However, it is important to note that in the last five head-to-head encounters, today's visitors have two wins against the Blaugrana outfit, including that impressive success in December 2023, when Girona prevailed 4-2.
