This match would have a more interesting game if we can have the girona of last season playing against this incredible Barcelona side under Hansi flick it will be a great match but if you ask me the current Girona are actually not in a better position to face Barcelona. I am predicting an easy Barcelona win except maybe the international break would reduce their form again.
If it was last season, maybe I would have chosen Girona. But for this season, honestly, I am more confident that Barcelona will win over Girona.
There are several reasons:
1. Barcelona is more consistent and stronger in starting this season
2. Several key Girona players have moved clubs
3. Barcelona's playing pattern under Flick is more consistent and measured, they are more solid now.
Although there are indeed several Barcelona players who are still injured.
Here are the list:
UNAVAILABLE: Ronald Araujo (Injured), Christensen (Injured), De Jong (Injured), Marc Bernal (Injured), Fermin Lopez (Injured), Gavi (Injured)
