Girona keen to remain in race for second-place finish as Villarreal visits.
With Girona's unbeaten streak on the line and Villarreal looking to maintain their dominance at Montilivi, Tuesday night’s clash promises high stakes in the race for top positions in La Liga.
Girona
Girona settled for a 2-2 draw against Alaves on Friday, extending their unbeaten streak to four matches [LWWWD]. With a top-four finish now guaranteed and a maiden UCL qualification sealed in its 94-year history, the Blanquivermells are now looking to remain in the race for a second-place finish.
However, the draw with Alaves leaves the hosts with 75 points [23W, 6D, & 6L] and mathematically within Barcelona’s reach, with the Catalans just two points adrift. With the Catalans [73 points] taking on Real Sociedad on Monday night, Girona could see themselves forced one spot down the table to 3rd place.
Míchel's side have a poor home record against the Yellow Submarine, winning only two of their 10 home games against the visitors [2W, 0D, 8L]. Furthermore, the hosts have won three and lost four of their seven La Liga meetings with Villarreal.
However, the Blanquivermells head into Tuesday’s clash in fine form, with three victories in their last four matches [3W, 1D, & 0L], which is as many wins as in their previous nine matches in LL beforehand [3W, 1D, & 5L]. Girona, who have also won both LL games they have played on a Tuesday, will be looking to add a third consecutive win in such games when they host Villarreal.
A 4-2-3-1 formation, seen against Alaves with Artem Dovbyk in attack, is expected on Tuesday night. Meanwhile, Borja Garcia and Cristhian Stuani are doubtful for the game, while Ricard Artero and Joel Roca Casals are sidelined.
Villarreal
Villarreal returned to winning ways with a comeback 3-2 victory over Sevilla last time out. This result saw the Yellow Submarine remain in 9th place with 48 points as they head into Tuesday's game against Girona.
They will be hoping to leapfrog 8th-placed Valencia, who are only ahead due to better head-to-head results. The visitors have returned as happy travelers following several trips to Girona. Villarreal have won all three of their visits to Montilivi in La Liga, a record they share with Barcelona and Real Betis.
However, the Yellow Submarine have lost all three away games they played on Tuesday in La Liga. Manager Marcelino will likely stick with the 4-4-2 formation used against Sevilla, featuring Gonçalo Guedes and Alexander Sørloth in attack once again.
