Two of the sides that finished last season in the Champions League spots in La Liga will collide in the Spanish top-flight when action resumes this weekend. It has been a strong start to the season for Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, but can they maintain their 100% record when they come up against Girona?
Before Betting On Girona vs Barcelona
Barcelona have been the standout team in La Liga across the opening month of the season, and there will be real optimism that Flick could deliver the Spanish top-flight title in his first season in charge. The Catalonian giants have won each of their opening four matches this term, netting a league-high tally of 13 goals in the process.
Their sensational performance levels were maintained before the international break after registering a stunning 7-0 success at home against Valladolid. Raphinha was the star man in the success, netting a hat-trick. Further efforts were added by Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres.
Girona was the surprise package across Europe’s top five divisions last term, achieving a Champions League finish for the first time in their history. Hopes could be high of repeating that feat once again in 2024-25 after winning two of their opening five matches to sit fifth in the La Liga standings at this early stage.
The Spanish side come into this intriguing clash after winning each of their last two matches. Girona produced an excellent display on the road before the international break, securing a 2-0 success at Sevilla. Ivan Martin opened the scoring before the half time interval, before the crucial second effort was registered from the penalty spot by Abel Ruiz.
