La Liga, match day 29 on Sunday, 03/30/2025 at 4:15 pm
This is how FC Barcelona had imagined it! Real Madrid was distanced by three points, Atletico by six, and the form for the final spurt of this season is there. Must the next opponent also believe on Sunday?
After eight wins in a row, I am full of praise for the performances. Accordingly, I will now tell you in my Barcelona Girona tip why a handicap bet might be appropriate again.
How far would Barcelona have escaped if it hadn’t been for this strange crisis around Christmas! With one win in eight games, Barca seemed to have forgotten how to play football, losing one point after another in the league.
That has long been forgotten, because the brilliant 7-1 win against Valencia at the end of January was the start of a highly encouraging streak. Seven more threes have been added, and they haven’t given up a point in eight games.
And since their rivals from Madrid are making a few slip-ups, the Catalans are now in control of how big their lead is. The last four wins were all comfortable victories, with at least a two-goal lead.
It’s logical that Lewandowski is also in good form. He has scored seven times in the eight matches mentioned. With five consecutive home wins, in which they have only conceded one goal, the crisis at the Olympic Stadium is also history again.
The only question for the weekend is how high the victory against Girona will be. Maybe you remember the last few years, which have been anything but glorious in this duel.
In the first half of the season, Barca won 4-1, but before that there had been no wins for three consecutive games. 2-4, 0-0, 2-2? Unbelievable: Since Girona was promoted, Barcelona has never won at home!
This should provide the players with additional motivation to finally put their rivals in their place, preferably in the clearest possible way. What is definitely interesting is that Barca has only conceded two goals at home in the first half.
With nine goals conceded in total, they defend quite strongly anyway. So does the “Barca win to zero” bet make sense? At Betano, you can get odds of 2.37 for this tip, which is not bad at all.
The only thing that pays off is if you want to bet very low-risk, the bet “Girona does not score in the first half”. Here you can get odds of 1.40 at Betano.
The league leaders will definitely have to do without Dani Olmo at the weekend. The former Leipzig player has sustained a muscle injury and will probably be out until mid-April.
Speaking of Leipzig, his old club is playing against Mönchengladbach on Saturday. Our expert Steffen reveals in his betting tip which game he expects and which bets could be suitable.
The general odds for my Barcelona Girona tip will certainly not surprise you, the home side are clearly favored with an average of 1.25 to 9.90 going into the match.
But that’s no wonder when we look at what FC Girona is playing for. Last season’s surprise team has declined sharply and is now only in 13th place.
They have only won one of their last nine games, but after three defeats, they have at least drawn three times in a row. However, with Celta Vigo, Espanyol and Valencia, their most recent opponents were not exactly at the top of the table.
Has Girona been able to annoy a big team at all in 2024/25? Bilbao was defeated at home six months ago. 0-2 and 0-3 against Real Madrid, 0-3 against Atletico, 1-4 in the first half of the season against Barca and 0-3 against Athletic, a favorite’s fright definitely appears differently.
Girona have only won three of 14 away games, and their eleven goals don’t read particularly brilliantly either. 1-0 against Alaves, 1-0 against Getafe, 2-0 against Sevilla, at least they won without conceding a goal.
More than half of all away defeats were by at least two goals. Incidentally, the team has only managed to score away from home before half-time on four occasions.
If FC Barcelona continue like this, their rivals from Madrid are likely to be left behind! Hansi Flick’s team is storming from victory to victory, with opponents now being dispatched without a chance.
With FC Girona, a rival is now coming to the Olympic Stadium that has never really found its feet this season. The team is relatively harmless away from home anyway, and hardly scores any goals.
So, all in all, I can only come to the conclusion that the league leaders will once again decide for themselves how high the victory should be. Therefore, I opt for the following bet:
Barca wins by at least two goals!
