Girona vs Barcelona: Preview, predictions & lineups

Barcelona will make the trip across Catalonia to face Girona in La Liga on Saturday afternoon.

Xavi's side have very little to play for in the final weeks of the season as they now sit 11 points off league leaders Real Madrid. However, should Barca fail to win this weekend and their Clasico rivals beat Cadiz earlier in the day, then they will have officially surrendered their La Liga crown.

Girona have been one of the surprise packages of the season across Europe and currently sit third in La Liga, knowing a victory at home to Barcelona will see them leapfrog the five-time European champions. Michel's side won the reverse fixture back in December, beating their Catalan foes 4-2 on the road.
