Girona, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 4-2 away win over Barcelona in their last league game, Girona will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. In that game they had 47% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target, compared to Barcelona who had 31 attempts and 11 on target.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal, with 14 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 7 goals in the same period. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games; however, they've scored in 15 of their 16 games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 8 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Artem Dovbyk will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 5 goals in Girona's last 6 league games.
Alaves, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Las Palmas will have left the Alaves squad feeling a little deflated. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 5 hitting the target, up against Las Palmas' tally of 9 efforts at goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Luis García Plaza will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 6 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 6 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
An away win for Alaves is just a distant memory, having not won on the road in 12 games.
Samuel Samu will be keen to get his name on the scoresheet against Girona in this match, having already scored 3 goals in his last 6 away games for Alaves.
It was one to forget for Girona last time they met Alaves in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
Goals should be on the cards for Girona in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Babazorros in their last 5 meetings together.
Girona manager Míchel Sánchez Muñoz has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Borja García (Physical discomfort), Yangel Herrera (Thigh) and Toni Villa (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With Aleksandar Sedlar (Cruciate ligament) being out for the rest of the season and Giuliano Simeone (Sprained ankle) also unavailable in the shorter term, Alavés manager Luis García Plaza will be pleased to have no other major fitness concerns going into this tie.
