Indeed, the quality of Barcelona's players is better than Girona's, what's more, this match will be played at Barcelona's home ground. Of course they will be favorites in this match to beat Girona.
But sometimes we have to believe in the enthusiasm of Girona players, especially since they play without any pressure or burden. This will be good capital for them to make it difficult for Barcelona to win. I also predict that this match will end in a draw, not without reason. This is because I see that Girona's progress so far is difficult to stop, even for a team as big as Barcelona, Girona's fighting spirit and relentlessness this season deserves a thumbs up.
That's why Girona should not be underestimated. Girona's consistent performance has attracted the attention of many other clubs this season in La Liga, of course this is natural because this team has changed drastically since the start of the season. Girona is very eager to perform well in every match, but it is not very realistic that they can beat Barcelona or hold a draw just because of previous performance.
Both teams have different playing styles, but I think Girona will adapt their strategy to be less attacking against a team like Barcelona. They will try to play a little back and take advantage of counter attacks, which makes sense because Barcelona can usually always dominate possession of the ball. IN the match against Atletico Madrid, Barcelona's performance was good and if that is repeated in the match against Girona then I am sure Barcelona will be unstoppable.
The home ground advantage for Barcelona is pretty big and it has always been a big plus for them in the past. You could now see that again against Atletico when I thought that this game could also end in a draw, but I think the home ground gave Barcelona a little extra. But Barcelona is still far from perfect this season.
In contrast, Girona can play their best game and nobody expects them to win that game. That is their advantage somehow. And they have no need or reason to fear that game at all. Barcelona is under massive pressure because the meaning of this game is huge in regards to the impact on the table standings. If this goes well for Girona, we are talking about a 7 points advantage afterwards and Barcelona will be left behind quite far.
