Barcelona - Girona predictions

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.20, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive Barcelona victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

The current perspective makes the situation plain as day. Given the superiority of Blaugrana and the 14.32 odds given to Girona to win, it is clear that anything but a home win would be a stunning upset.

Barcelona suffered a crushing 4:1 defeat during the previous round of the La Liga, against most predictions.They conceded a goal right from the get-go against Sevilla , and never managed to take back control of the game.

The away team are coming on the back of a 2:1 home win. The showdown against Valencia was not the easiest of matchups, but they confidently maintained a lead throughout the runtime, displaying the solid form.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Based on their recent performance, Girona’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 7 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

The away team’s position is looking harder with each passing round, although the fact that there are plenty of rounds to go is their saving grace. Firstly, they’re in the relegation zone and they’ll need 0 points to get out. Moreover, Barca will be an exceedingly difficult opponent to play against, so earning even a single point is no easy feat.

The hosts’ position as favourites is hard to question after the dominance they displayed last season. They consistently recorded decisive victories in this matchup, so it’s quite likely that they’ll manage to do so again.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.22, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
