The Catalan derby between Girona and Barcelona could decide who finishes second in La Liga. The matchday 35 fixture to be played at the Estadi Montilivi on Saturday will see the hosts Girona start third with 71 points, while the visitors are second with 73 points. Girona defeated Las Palmas 2-0 in their last league game for their third win across four league games. Girona’s matches have been decisive lately, with no draws in their last ten matches and five wins and losses each. They have found their scoring touch in recent games too, netting ten goals across their last four league games. Playing at home seems to bring the best out of Girona, who have been unbeaten at this venue since October. They have won 11 and drawn two of their last 13 matches in all competitions and should be geared up for this exciting clash.

Barcelona lost the reverse fixture 4-2 and will be gunning for revenge. They are coming off a 4-2 win over Valencia, which helped assuage the hurt of a 3-2 loss in El Clasico to Real Madrid. Indeed, that defeat remains Barcelona’s only loss across 12 league matches. They won nine and drawn two matches in this sequence, giving themselves a fair chance of finishing second behind Real Madrid. That wouldn’t be acceptable in any other season, but it can be a lone bright spot in what has been a disastrous season. That said, it won’t be straight forward, as Barcelona have failed to win two of their last four league trips, drawing and losing one each.
