Girona vs Barcelona Prediction and Betting Advice

This game will be a huge occasion for Girona, who are yet to have played Barcelona in Primera during their history, but it probably won’t be too fondly remembered afterwards. Barcelona have been steamrolling their way beyond whoever has stood in their way so far this season in free-scoring fashion. They’re a real danger to any team in Europe, and Girona stand to be crushed.

Girona haven’t scored in their last three league outings, with Christian Stuani struggling to find the back of the net now after a very bright start to his career at Montilivi. Barca aren’t likely to be threatened too dangerously. Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Pique have formed a formidable centre-back partnership, with Marc-Andre ter Stegen looking very solid in goal so far this campaign. Barcelona have the quality to find the back of the net, and the personnel to shut out Girona at the other end.

Messi has nine La Liga goals to his name already this season, in just five appearances. Four of those game last time out against Eibar, and the Argentine will want to maintain that momentum further.

Our Girona vs Barcelona tips suggest that he will do just that, with Betfair offering fantastic value in the circumstances. Barca are facing a struggling opponent with Messi on top form, but you can still back him to net a brace or more at long odds.
