In the 16th round of the Spanish La Liga, Barcelona will face Girona. The match will take place at Barcelona's Olympic Stadium on Sunday, December 10th, with a scheduled kickoff at 9:00 PM Central European Time.
Barcelona
Barça is going through a slight crisis. The team is still collecting points but isn't demonstrating their best game. Currently occupying the third position in the table, the Catalans are four points behind the leaders. In their recent matches, Barcelona drew with Rayo Vallecano but later defeated Atletico Madrid, securing their third place.
Girona
Girona continues to be among the league leaders, trailing only Real Madrid by additional metrics. Their defeat against Real remains the only loss for Michel's team this season. In the last round, Girona showcased character and secured a hard-fought victory over Valencia. Although they were trailing 0-1 during the match, veteran Stuani turned things around. In the final ten minutes, the Argentine scored a brace, earning his team three points. Notably, Girona boasts the best attack in La Liga, scoring 34 goals.
Interesting match facts and head-to-head history
- Barcelona has conceded only in one out of their last five home games.
- Girona hasn't suffered a defeat since September.
- The teams have met only six times, with Girona never securing a victory against their more prestigious neighbors.
Prediction
According to the bookmakers' odds, Barcelona is considered the favorite, yet Girona has shown excellent results this season. I believe we should expect cautious football, and I'll be betting on under 3.5 total goals.
