Girona
Currently occupying 11th place in the LaLiga table, Girona (5-6-6, 21 points) are on a mini-resurgence as they have yet to lose in seven games (three wins and four draws). The White and Reds are looking to extend their unbeaten run against table-topping Barcelona. In their last match against Sevilla, Girona fought back from a goal down to win, 2-1. Second-half goals from Cristhian Stuani and Yangel Herrera handed the squad the victory, moving them to 11th place. Stuani will spearhead Girona’s offense in their match against Barcelona with Valentin Castellanos and Rodrigo Riquelme providing support. Argentine Paulo Gazzaniga is expected to handle goalkeeping duties for the White and Reds in the game.
Players to Watch: Cristhian Stuani (5 goals); Valentin Castellanos (4 goals); Rodrigo Riquelme (3 goals); Yangel Herrera (2 goals, 2 assists); Amau Martinez (2 goals, 1 assist).
Barcelona
Barcelona (13-2-1, 41 points) stand at the top spot of the LaLiga with a 6-1-0 record in the last seven games. They are currently three points ahead of Real Madrid and Real Sociedad in the team classification and are on their way to retaining the top spot until the end of the first half of the 2022-23 season. Part of the success is Barca’s all-around game as they are second in goals scored (35) and first in goals allowed (six).
In their last outing against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona needed the heroics of Ousmane Dembele to secure the pivotal three points. He scored the only goal of the match in the 22nd minute. Robert Lewandowski and Dembele will be the 1-2 punch for Barca in the clash although the team can also rely on Pedri and Ansu Fati in offense. Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains to be the primary option between the pipes for Barcelona moving into the clash against Girona.
Players to Watch: Robert Lewandowski (13 goals, 4 assists); Ousmane Dembele (5 goals, 5 assists); Ansu Fati (3 goals, 3 assists); Pedri (3 goals); Raphinha (2 goals, 2 assists).
