Girona hosts Barcelona in the Catalan Derby, which could decide which team takes the second spot in the La Liga standings. Real is the new champion, which was decided long ago, with these two units sitting far behind Los Blancos. They still have mathematical chances to take over the top spot, but in reality, that won’t happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Girona is one of the biggest refreshments in Spain this year. The team from Catalonia plays fast, modern, and appealing football, which is why all the neutral fans have sympathy for this unit. They don’t have the experience nor enough stars in the team to fully challenge Barcelona and Real, but are on the right track. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three wins in the last four meetings indicate Girona’s solid form. The only loss was against Atletico in Madrid, 3-1, while the wins came against Betis, 3-2, Cadiz, 4-1, both at home, and Las Palmas, 0-2 on the road. When looking only at the home events, Girona didn’t lose in the previous 13, winning 11 and tying two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
