Barca eye win at home against Girona in 2018/19 La Liga
Kick-off : 8:45 PM (Local)
Venue : Camp Nou, Barcelona
Barcelona have had a fantastic start to their new La Liga season winning all the games thus far. They will look to continue the winning momentum on Sunday.
Barca though will need to avoid complacency and maintain their standard. Barcelona have had a brilliant start to their Champions League campaign too beating PSV comprehensively on Tuesday. Barcelona are so far unbeaten across all competitions.
Back to domestic duties is what they will do on Sunday night after which they play Leganes next on Wednesday night.
On the other hand, Girona have had an OK start to their new La Liga campaign and will be looking to maintain their positive style of play on Sunday.
Girona are currently 10th in the table after 4 games with 7 points. Girona though have a huge task at their hands of playing giants Barcelona at their own backyard.
Barcelona have a brilliant record against Girona and they will look to maintain that on Sunday night.
Team news and possible line-ups
Carles Planas, Johan Mojica and Jonas Ramalho are all doubtful for Girona for the weekend game.
As for Barcelona, Nelson Semedo is available and might play.
Girona XI : Bono, B. Espinosa, Juanpe, P. Alcala, P. Porro, A. Granell, Douglas, Aday, Portu, C. Stuani, Borja.

Prediction
I expect Barcelona to get a routine win on Sunday night. They might win 5-0. The goalscorers might be Lionel Messi (2), Luis Suarez, Ousmane Dembele and Philippe Coutinho.
