📋 Team News: Girona FC

It’s our opinion that Blanquivermells may well kick off with a 4-2-3-1 formation for this one with Paulo Gazzaniga, Hugo Rincon, Arnau Martinez, Vitor Reis, Daley Blind, Ivan Martin, Axel Witsel, Viktor Tsigankov, Thomas Lemar, Bryan Gil and Vladyslav Vanat.

ℹ️ Team News: Barcelona

We reckon that Barça seem most likely to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Joan Garcia, Jules Kounde, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia, Alejandro Balde, Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, Dani Olmo, Lamine Yamal, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that Barcelona have the ability to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Girona FC could well struggle finding the net themselves but we do fancy them being dangerous at times.

We’re therefore expecting to see a controlled 1-3 win for Barcelona when the referee blows the final whistle.
