Girona hope to sell all 14500 tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 34 points and a 14th position in the La Liga table. Visiting Espanyol holds 13th place with 35.
It's no vacation for neither Girona nor Espanyol as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Girona form and stats
The struggle is real here at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi with only 12 points collected from 15 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 2-6-7. With nine home games in a row without a win, the Girona fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Deportivo Alaves game long ago, can be stopped today.Girona lost their last game at Atlético Madrid after a 0-2 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Athletic Club with the scoreline 1-2.
