It’s incredible to see that Barcelona have conceded just six goals in the seventeen La Liga matches played so far. It’s an impressive defensive record and that was in evidence when Xavi’s men claimed a 1-0 win over Getafe recently, with Jules Kounde and Sergi Roberto having been impressive performers and they have the evergreen Sergio Busquets sitting in midfield.

Barcelona are heavy odds-on to win this clash although it’s a potential banana skin for a side who will want to keep their advantage over Real Madrid. Robert Lewandowski has proved to be a successful signing and the Pole has now scored 24 goals in all competitions this season, with his strike prowess potentially the difference against Girona.

The home side are definitely heavy scorers in front of their own fans and they have scored sixteen goals in nine games. They have not lost in their previous five clashes at Estadi Montilivi, with Michel looking for his side to cause problems for a Barcelona side who will be wary against opponents who had seven shots on target when beating Sevilla recently.

Valentin Castellanos is on loan from New York City and the twenty-four year old has scored three goals in his past five clashes. However, it might be that the home side run into brick walls and you could do worse than backing Barcelona to win to nil. A 1-0 or 2-0 victory in favour of Xavi’s side could be the best way forward.
