Depay and Aguero recently joined up with the Barcelona side and will not take the field so soon.
On the other hand, Girona came in 5th last season in the second division of La Liga and narrowly missed out on qualification due to the loss in play-offs.
Hence, they will be upbeat this time around to gain promotion.
Girona is playing their first match of the pre-season and could be a bit rusty in gaining momentum.
The second division side last met Barcelona in 2020 as part of a club friendly match which finished 3-1 to the men in Red and Blue. Messi’s brace guided the win in which Coutinho scored as well.
Line-ups
Barcelona:
Pena, Roberto, Pique, Mingo, Dest, Gonzalez, Collado, Puig, Demir, Abe and Manaj.
Girona:
Carlos, Juanpe, Martinez, Bueno, Franquesa, Couto, Gumbau, Monchu, Cristoforo, Barcenas and Stuani.
Prediction: Barcelona 3-0 Girona
The Barcelona young squad should be capable of getting the right result against Girona as they have a number of players in form.
Manaj, Abe will be threats after their previous performances last time out. Hence, Girona’s defence will be on their toes throughout.
