Girona FC vs FC Barcelona Prediction 16 February 2026

After a disastrous start to the season, Girona have recovered to a respectable 12th place with 26 points and a 22–37 goal difference, though they remain just four points above the relegation zone. Over the past month, the Rojiblancos have shown signs of stability, beating Osasuna (1–0) and Espanyol (2–0), drawing with Getafe (1–1) and Sevilla (1–1), and narrowly losing to Real Oviedo (0–1).

Barcelona, meanwhile, continue to lead the title race despite a minor setback. The Blaugrana recorded convincing wins over Espanyol (2–0), Real Oviedo (3–0), Elche (3–1), and Mallorca (3–0), before suffering a 1–2 defeat to Real Sociedad. That loss slightly dented their advantage at the top, leaving them on 58 points with an impressive 63–23 goal difference and just a one-point lead over second place.

Recent head-to-head meetings have largely gone Barcelona’s way, and encounters between these sides tend to be open and entertaining. With Girona improving but Barcelona chasing the title, this regional derby promises intensity and goals. Expect at least three goals, with the visitors likely to edge it.
