GIR vs BAR Match Preview

After a slow start to their La Liga 2024/25 season with a 1-1 draw against Real Betis in the opener and then losing heavily to Atletico Madrid, Girona bounced back with consecutive wins before heading into the international break. Following a 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna at home, Michel's side registered a 2-0 victory at Sevilla with goals from Iván Martin and Abel Ruiz. The set of victories pulled the side into the top five of the table with the team looking to repeat their stunning season last time. Girona finished third in the league slewing giants on the road including FC Barcelona whom they did a double against in the previous season. The Catalan giants will be visiting them next with the Blanquivermells facing a tough schedule this month as their attention after this turns to the midweek clash against Paris St-Germain in their debut Champions League season. Girona are confident of taking on Barcelona at home, however, they have won this fixture just once at the venue and the visitors have changed a lot under their new manager.

Hansi Flick became the first manager to lead Barcelona to victories in the first four games of a La Liga season since 2017 after his side went on a rampage by beating Real Valladolid 7-0 at home last month. The Blaugrana registered their biggest win in eight years courtesy of Raphinha bagging his first career hattrick with Robert Lewandowski, Jules Koundé, Dani Olmo and substitute Ferran Torres scoring a piece. Barcelona are the only team to keep a perfect start this season keeping them at the top of the ladder with maximum points earned. The Catalan outfit have won the league title nine out of 10 times when they secured wins in their first four league games. The record brings hope to the fans that Flick will create a difference after a lacklustre trophyless final season of club legend Xavi. Despite Girona bettering them twice in the last two meetings, Barcelona are hopeful of maintaining eight-game winning streak carrying forward from last season. The team has also managed three away wins in this fixture before their defeat in May this year.
