Barcelona take on the visitors Girona in the round 28 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Monday, April 10th at Camp Nou (Barcelona).
Barcelona has once again performed poorly on the international stage this season. It's hard to remember a time when the Blaugrana failed to make it to the Champions League knockout stages two seasons in a row! Then, in February, their Europa League campaign ended with a capitulation to Manchester United. And now, more scandalous details are emerging around the "Negreira case"! But for now, all of this is being compensated for in the eyes of the leadership and fans by their success on the domestic front. They first defeated Real Madrid in the Supercopa, earning Xavi his first trophy in his new role. Then, they managed to distance themselves from Los Blancos in La Liga, confirming their dominance with a gritty 2-1 win in El Clásico. Last weekend, they faced Ancelotti's men again in the Copa del Rey semi-final. It resulted in a painful 4-0 defeat at the hands of their eternal rivals at their own home. Essentially, there's nothing left for them to play for this season.

Girona recently become known due to the fact that this project has entered the football empire, the pinnacle of which remains "Manchester City". They have already managed to debut in La Liga at the end of the previous decade and even stayed there for 2 years in a row. Moreover, after being relegated, "Girona" played in promotion playoffs in both 2020 and 2021, but unsuccessfully. Finally, in the last Segunda season, they finished in 6th place, but with subsequent long-awaited success in the playoffs. Of course, such a team was considered an underdog at a higher level. But instead, Michel Sanchez's team produces results of a quite strong mid-table. Moreover, after "Girona" started April with a 2-1 win over "Espanyol", they approached 7th place, the Europa League zone, at a distance of 3 points, which is 1 victory away. Tsygankov was a good addition, with already 3 goals and assists. But the main hero was again Cavani, who scored his 7th goal in this Spanish championship with a penalty at the end.
"Girona" can show something in semi-official regional Catalan tournaments. But in La Liga, they have 1 draw and 4 defeats in 5 matches. In this season, Pedri's goal brought another 3 points against a modest, albeit strong, neighbor. "Blau-granas" need to rehabilitate themselves in front of the fans for an obvious failure in the cup. And it is unlikely that the neighboring newcomers who have come their way will resist strongly. We bet that the hosts will win with a handicap of "-1.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Barcelona to win with -1.5 handicap.
