Barcelona are out to reclaim top spot in La Liga when they travel to Girona for a Monday night clash.
Barca are in second place with 58 points, two behind La Liga leaders Real Madrid who beat Real Sociedad 4-1 over the weekend. They must win if they are to return to the top of the standings.
They face a Girona side in 13th place just two points above the relegation zone. They were held to a 1-1 draw at Sevilla in their last La Liga outing.
Barca are seeking redemption after a 4-0 humiliation by Atletico Madrid in midweek in their Copa del Rey semifinal first leg.
Barcelona have won four of their last five away games and are confident they can get all three points here, keeping alive their hopes of winning a 29th Spanish league title.
With no stalemates in either of the last five head-to-head matches between these two teams, we can expect a winner here as well. Defeat for either side could have major implications on both ends of the competitive log.
Barcelona have scored in 43 consecutive league matches, the best such run from any team in La Liga. They are tipped to find the back of the net here as well, against a Girona side who have conceded in each of their last three league games.
Barca have been superior in recent matches against Girona and remain as favorites to avoid defeat here. We have a look at all key details of the match as well as offer our predicted outcome.

Barca are on a better run of form and do boast a stronger starting XI, giving them a little of an advantage heading into the clash. Though Girona has enjoyed success over their visitors in the past and could give them a hard time.
We go with goals instead of an outright winner.
