Girona aims to revive their La Liga title pursuit as they host an in-form Osasuna at Estadi Montilivi on Saturday evening. Despite being in second place, the home team has suffered three losses in their last four league matches, placing them seven points behind the top-seeded Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Osasuna’s impressive recent performances have propelled them to 10th position in the standings.
Girona’s fairytale season has hit a bump in the road, with their recent struggles allowing Real Madrid to pull away at the top of La Liga. After winning just one of their last five games, including a concerning run of away defeats, Michel’s side now finds itself seven points behind the league leaders.
This dip in form has also opened the door for their rivals. Barcelona, breathing down their necks in third place, are just a single point behind. Atletico Madrid are also hot on their heels, sitting just four points adrift of second place.
Despite the recent struggles, Girona remain comfortably in a Champions League qualification spot. They hold a crucial nine-point advantage over Athletic Bilbao in fifth. A top-four finish would be a historic achievement for the club, considering their recent yo-yo form in La Liga.
Looking ahead, Girona will be hoping to rediscover their home form. They boast a strong record at Estadi Montilivi, having collected 10 wins and 32 points from their 13 home matches this season.
