Girona, Recent FormGirona will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 2-2 result against Rayo Vallecano last time out. During that encounter they had 52% possession and had 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target, while their opponents hit 3 of their 15 shots on goal.
Whilst manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be pleased with his team's performance in front of goal, with them having scored 13 goals in their last 6 games, he will want to tighten up his defence if they are to pick up more points, with 12 in the same period. Their defensive record does not make good reading so far this season as they have conceded at least 1 goal in 25 of their 26 league games.
With 3 defeats and just 2 wins from their last 6 outings, this cannot be regarded as a good run of form.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Girona, Viktor Tsygankov will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Espanyol, Recent FormThe Espanyol squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-1 home defeat against Celta Vigo, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. Their share of possession in that meeting was 56%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target. Celta Vigo had 8 shots on goal with 4 on target.
Supremo Diego Martínez will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 12 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 12 games. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 22 of their 26 league matches.
Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.
The Espanyol travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from José Joselu, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
Goals should be on the cards for Girona in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Periquitos in their last 5 meetings together.
In the last 3 league matches against Girona, Espanyol have failed to record a victory.
Girona player Cristhian Stuani will be looking to get on the scoresheet again against Espanyol, having scored 3 goals in the last 5 league meetings between the teams.
Girona manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Alexander Callens (Muscle), Yan Couto (Sprained ankle), Yangel Herrera (Ankle) and Ibrahima Kébé (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Diego Martínez has a number of injury concerns in his Espanyol squad to contend with: Keidi Bare (Ligament), Adrià Pedrosa (Hernia) and Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel (Muscle)
