Match preview
Espanyol kick off just one point and one place above the relegation zone, so can they improve that position in this Catalan derby?
Blanquiazules come into this one having lost three successive matches for the first time all season, most-recently beaten 3-1 by Celta de Vigo.
Away from home, Diego Martínez’s men have won just twice since 4 September, and that needs to improve, or Espanyol’s top-flight status will be seriously under threat.
Girona meanwhile are five place and four points better off, hoping to climb even higher here.
Blanquivermells played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Rayo Vallecanoa a fortnight ago, with Viktor Tsyhankov scoring both at Vallecas.
Given that they’re a newly-promoted team, Mïchel’s men will be delighted with their tally of 31 points after 26 fixtures.
