Prediction: 1-2
Eibar
After playing out a 2-2 draw with Real Valladolid, Girona will look to return to winning ways in Segunda Division when they take on Eibar at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi. The Catalan outfit aim to stay in the playoffs berth, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Veteran attacker Stuani should keep his place in the starting XI, alongside Saiz, while Oscar Urena continues to miss out with injury.
Los Armeros, on the other hand, aim to retain top position in the standings. Following three consecutive league wins, Eibar shared the spoils with Fuenlabrada in their last league match, but they need to return to winning ways as soon as possible if they are to secure automatic promotion to La Liga. Since key attacker Stoichkov is back from suspension, away win should be considered.
