Girona's consistent performance will be tested again against Barcelona, of course this is an important match for both of them, especially for Barcelona who are playing at home. Barcelona have dropped 11 points from 15 games so far and they have to do something better if they don't want to drop more points. Girona is a tough opponent, but Barcelona must be careful with Girona's fast game scheme and are quite capable of taking advantage of counter attacks.
Barcelona certainly won't underestimate Girona for whatever reason, but they have to take this match really seriously. Avoiding bad results regardless of drawing or losing is the main goal for Barcelona, so they have to play with their best form to win. A defeat or draw would make Barcelona even worse and further behind in the title race, but I don't imagine they will lose.
Right, this match is a test battle for Girona when facing a stronger team. Moreover, the match will be held at Camp Nou, Barcelona's headquarters. and what is certain, Michel will make sure to find a way to get around the meeting in Week 16 against Barcelona. referring to what you said, Barcelona should actually be able to anticipate every attack that Girona builds. Likewise, when Girona counterattacked. IMO, if Barcelona is able to play like they did when they hosted Atletico, it shouldn't be a problem for them.
For me, the current problem for Barcelona is their front line, which is not scoring enough goals. Lewandowski has lost his sharpness a bit, even though he actually had lots of opportunities if we refer to the match against ATM. In this match, Lewandowski should be able to restore the momentum to score goals again. to raise self-confidence. plus, his instinct for scoring goals. Well, this match is also an opportunity for Barca to reduce the difference in points with the teams above their ranking.
As for Girona, it won't be easy to overthrow Barca, especially since Xavi Hernandez's squad has a fairly strong defensive line. Like it or not, Girona has to look for gaps in Barcelona's weaknesses. My guess is that Girona will focus more on playing more defensively. and as you said, they will rely on counterattacks. Well, because this match still has a break, we can discuss the betting later.
