Barcelona is undergoing a transition period due to financial issues, but they are staying relevant through their academy and good free transfers. Although they won the last La Liga title last season, they are not at the level they are used to. They have secured the next phase in the UCL and are solid in the domestic league, currently in 3rd place, only four points away from Real Madrid and Girona.

Girona is experiencing a remarkable season, resembling Leicester’s 2015/16. Despite not being expected to achieve such success, they are keeping up with the best teams in Spain. With 38 points, Girona is tied with Real Madrid for the top spot in the league, indicating their success is not due to luck or a hot streak.

Inigo Martinez, a 32-year-old defender, was forced to the bench due to an injury during the Atletico Madrid game. First-choice goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will miss his fourth consecutive game due to back problems since the international break. Inaki Pena will remain the first option for goal. Gavi, a midfielder, sustained an ACL injury and will be sidelined for the entire season. Backup full-back Marcos Alonso also missed the Girona game due to an injury. Martinez’s absences will impact the team’s goalkeeping lineup.

Yangel Herrera has been injured in a match against Valencia, leaving Ibrahima Kebe to start. Eric Garcia and Pablo Torre, on loan from Barcelona, are likely to miss the game. Ricard Artero, Borja Garcia, Joel Roca, and Toni Villa are also sidelined due to injuries.

Predicted lineups:

Barcelona

Goalkeeper: Inaki Pena
Defenders: Jules Kounde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Joao Cancelo
