Raphinha has scored 27 goals and provided 20 assists in 42 appearances for FC Barcelona across all competitions this season. As for La Liga, Raphinha has scored 13 goals and provided ten assists in 27 La Liga appearances.

Arnaut Danjuma (Girona FC)

FC Barcelona vs Girona FC Prediction

Although FC Barcelona are playing two matches in two days and are devoid of some key players, they are likely to glide past Girona FC. The Blaugrana do not have the best squad depth in the world, however, their versatility and talented youngsters on the bench are more than enough to take down an out-of-form Girona FC. FC Barcelona might concede a goal, but their attackers will not spare Girona FC, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last ten matches across all competitions.

Prediction : FC Barcelona 3-1 Girona FC
