Girona vs Barcelona Tips
The match is due to kick-off at 15:15 BST and will be shown live on Premier Sports 1 and La Liga TV.
After seeing arch-rivals Real Madrid win the La Liga and Champions League titles last season, Barcelona brought in manager Hansi Flick to try and take the Blaugrana back to the top of Spanish football.
The former Bayern Munich and Germany boss has certainly made a bright start to life in Catalonia, with Barca winning all of their opening four La Liga games.
Not only have the results been impressive but so have the performances, with Barca’s attacking brand of football seeing them score 13 goals in their opening four games and conceding just three.
A 7-0 thrashing of Real Valladolid last time out was a superb display before the international break and will give them plenty of confidence ahead of their trip to Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Sunday.
Girona have made a reasonable start to their La Liga campaign, with seven points from their four matches leaving them in fifth place in the table going into this weekend’s games.
This Girona side completed a historic double over Barca in La Liga last season and revenge might well be a motivating factor for the Blaugrana on Sunday.

Odds correct at time of writing
After suffering 4-2 defeats both home and away against Girona last term, Barca will be looking to reassert their dominance over Blanquivermells in this one.
Barca had not lost any of their six previous meetings with Girona before last season and, based on current form, they can get back to winning ways against Michel’s side on Sunday.
Girona were thrashed by Atletico Madrid 3-0 last month, just showing they can be got at if they are not near their best.
Games between Barca and Girona have proved to be high-scoring affairs of late and the Blaugrana to win and over 3.5 total goals to be scored offers good value here.
Tip 2: Robert Lewandowski to score two or more goals @ 11/2 with bet365
With plenty of goals expected at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi on Sunday, look to Robert Lewandowski to bag at least a couple of goals in this one.
The Poland international is Barcelona’s top goalscorer in La Liga this season, having already found the back of the net four times in four appearances.
Lewandowski seems to like playing against Girona, as he scored in both of their La Liga games against Michel’s side last season.
Having scored in Barca’s last game, the rout of Valladolid, Lewandowski is worth considering in the multiple scorers market for what should be another end-to-end contest between two attacking sides.
