Espanyol - Girona

Match date: 16/01-21:00

RCD Espanyol

This Friday Espanyol-Girona returns with more tension than in the first leg. Back then, at Montilivi, the 0-0 portrayed different paths and an almost mandatory respect between them. The clash returns to Cornellà with a clear focus for the locals. Espanyol faces the reunion at the RCDE Stadium with a pointed objective: they have never beaten Girona at the RCDE Stadium. In a blanquiazul perspective, the streak weighs heavily and is marked in red by the pericos. Espanyol arrives in a better position in the table, with a more stable season and eager to end that uncomfortable streak for a club that wants to dominate at home.

Regarding absences, Javi Puado joins the perica infirmary and will miss the remainder of the season. As for the starting eleven, it is expected that Pol Lozano will return to the starting lineup after being absent in the last match due to suspension. Roberto also seems poised to regain the starting spot.

Girona FC

The second half begins, and it does so with none other than the Catalan derby. It arrives at the best moment for the Catalan team's interests, catching Girona in their best form (2 consecutive victories) and Espanyol in one of their worst moments of the season (1 point out of 6 in the last two matches).

Girona has managed to end the first half of the season in the best possible way, earning 9 out of the last 15 points available. This achievement has not only lifted them out of the relegation zone but also the last two victories have distanced them 4 points away from the danger zone. Thus, Michel's team will come with sky-high morale, unlike the perico team, this fact could level the match and make us enjoy a very good encounter.

Regarding the starting eleven, Michel continues to be unable to count on the same players as in the previous matchday, so Witsel will remain sidelined and Stuani seems to be fully recovered.
