Girona Form
Girona have dropped points in four of their last five league matches (three defeats and a draw). However the home factor remains the main trump card for the hosts: at Montilivi they play much more confidently, having collected the lion's share of their points (22 of 38) here. Over their last 13 home games the home side have only lost to clubs from La Liga's top six — Atletico Madrid (0:3), Celta Vigo (1:2) and Real Betis (2:3).
Key Girona numbers:
Girona have won five of their last six home matches against Mallorca.
In 11 of their last 13 matches the hosts have conceded in the second half.
In their previous six games Michel's team picked up fewer than four yellow cards.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Paulo Gazzaniga — Hugo Rincon, Vitor Reis, Daley Blind, Arnau Martinez — Ivan Martin, Axel Witsel — Viktor Tsygankov, Thomas Lemar, Azzedine Ounahi — Claudio Echeverri.
Unavailable: Juan Carlos, Donny van de Beek, Portu, Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Vladyslav Vanat, Abel Ruiz (injuries), Alex Moreno (suspension).
Mallorca Form
Mallorca are producing disastrous results away from home: just one win in 16 away matches this season. Although at home Demichelis's team are capable of beating even Real Madrid (2:1 in April), away games become a real problem. Only once on their travels have they kept a clean sheet, conceding an average of two goals per game. In attack Vedat Muriqi is shining — 21 goals this season and three in the last four rounds — but his efforts are not enough to compensate for the defensive errors.
Key Mallorca numbers:
Mallorca have lost the second half in six consecutive away matches.
The visitors have conceded at least two goals in seven away games in a row.
Demichelis's team take an average of 3.6 corners per match (only Osasuna have a worse figure).
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Leo Roman — Pablo Maffeo, David Lopez, Martin Valjent, Johan Mojica — Omar Mascarell, Samu Costa — Sergi Darder, Pablo Torre, Jan Virgili — Vedat Muriqi.
Unavailable: Mateo Joseph, Antonio Raillo, Jan Salas, Zito Luvumbo (injuries), Marash Kumbulla (doubtful).
