Espnayol
Espanyol is not having a good season. Since the last time they won, they have three defeats in a row and are still close to the relegation places, so they are completely obliged to achieve a victory that will keep them calm for at least one matchday.
Girona
Girona comes from a draw in their visit to Rayo Vallecano and continues to have a discreet season. For now, the performance they have had during the season, is serving them to be only in the middle part of the table, although, they cannot be careless because the last places are close.
