Girona will have their work cut out for them on Saturday when they welcome high-flying Barcelona to the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi in La Liga. Barcelona is in pole position in the league with 44 points in 17 matches, three ahead of Real Madrid in second. In their last match, Barca overcame Getafe 1-0, which extended their unbeaten streak to eight matches, including seven wins and one draw. Their away form has also been exceptional this season, taking seven wins from eight matches on the road, with just a single loss. The visitors have dominated this fixture in recent times and are unbeaten in their last four meetings with Girona, winning three and drawing one. Barcelona will be looking to extend their impressive away record with a third consecutive win but will be made to work for the points by a Girona side that has been good on their home patch.

The hosts will kick off in 11th place in the league with 21 points in their 18 matches so far. They are four points behind Mallorca in tenth, but they are also just four points above the relegation zone. Girona was on a good run following the World Cup break and went seven games without defeat, including three wins and four draws, before that run ended away to Villareal last week. At home, Girona is on a five-match unbeaten run, with two wins and three draws. The last time these sides met, Girona suffered a 2-0 loss. They have not won in this league fixture since October 2017 and will need to produce something incredible in order to come away with anything from this one.
