FC Barcelona Preview:
FC Barcelona had a great game against Girona, but Girona managed to escape without conceding. It was the Barcelona squad that was pressing and pressurizing but Girona somehow managed to escape all the attempts. But there are a few things that work in favor of Barcelona. They have won 23 out of their 28 league games. Of the 23 games that they won; they have managed to keep 21 clean sheets.
Their away record this season is great too. Barcelona has won 12 out of 14 away games in La Liga 2023. These numbers and the potential of the teams make them the favorites for this match. But they are on a 2-match winless streak. So, the pressure will be on the Catalans. Frenkie De Jong is out and so is Andreas Christensen. Both are nursing injuries. In their absence, Kessie has done decently well. Pedri is also on the verge of recovery.
