Barça Head to Montilivi as Table-Toppers While Girona Struggle for Form
Barcelona visit Girona on Monday night looking to maintain their lead at the LaLiga summit, while the hosts aim to snap a three-game winless streak.
League leaders Barcelona face a tricky away trip to Montilivi as they take on a Girona side desperate to rediscover their winning touch.
Match Details
The Catalan derby kicks off on Monday, February 16th at 21:00 local time at Montilivi Stadium, with DAZN broadcasting the fixture live for viewers across Spain.
Current Form
It’s chalk and cheese when comparing these two sides’ recent runs:
Girona
Míchel’s men are going through a proper rough patch, failing to win any of their last three matches. They currently sit 12th in the table on 26 points, and while they’re not in immediate danger, the bottom half is getting tighter than a duck’s you-know-what. Their recent results tell the story:
- Sevilla 1-1 Girona (Matchday 23)
- Oviedo 1-0 Girona (Matchday 22)
- Girona 1-1 Getafe (Matchday 21)
- Espanyol 0-2 Girona (Matchday 20)
- Girona 1-0 Osasuna (Matchday 19)
Barcelona
Flick’s Barça remain top of the pile with 58 points despite coming off what many reckon was their “worst performance” under the German gaffer in their Copa del Rey semi-final first leg against Atlético Madrid. Their league form, however, has been solid:
- Barcelona 3-0 Mallorca (Matchday 23)
- Elche 1-3 Barcelona (Matchday 22)
- Barcelona 3-0 Oviedo (Matchday 21)
- Real Sociedad 2-1 Barcelona (Matchday 20)
- Espanyol 0-2 Barcelona (Matchday 18)
What To Expect
Barça will be keen to bounce back after their disappointing cup showing and maintain their position at the summit of LaLiga. For Girona, this derby represents a chance to claim a major scalp and potentially kickstart their season after a wobble.
With the visitors looking to make amends and the hosts desperate for points, we could be in for a proper Bobby Dazzler under the Monday night lights at Montilivi.
