Girona aim for a fourth consecutive win this Saturday when they travel to face bottom side Real Sociedad B in matchday 12 of LaLiga Hypermotion. The match will be played at the Estadio Ciudad Deportiva Zubieta at 14:00 local time and broadcast on LaLiga TV Hypermotion.
Their defence is the tightest in the league, having conceded only 10 goals in 11 games, while they have scored 22, giving them a +12 goal difference. In contrast, the Basque reserve team is 20th with just eight points and is on a run of five straight defeats.
Current form
Girona are on a three-game winning streak, most recently beating Cuarte 0-2 on Tuesday 27 October with goals from A. Ruiz and O. Pyshchur. Prior to that, they thrashed Celta de Vigo II 5-1 on 24 October, a match where Vladyslav Vanat scored a hat-trick, and defeated FC Andorra 2-0 on 18 October. Their recent form over the last five matches reads three wins and two draws, remaining unbeaten. This run keeps them within five points of leaders Castellón in a tight promotion race.
The attack is spearheaded by top scorer Yaser Asprilla, who has five goals in nine appearances this season. The last meeting between the sides ended 1-1 on 14 May.
Opponent in trouble
Real Sociedad B are in dire straits, with a negative run including losses by 0-1, 2-4 and 1-3. They have conceded 22 goals, the second-worst defensive record. Their last starting XI featured players like Lander Olasagasti, Jon Balda and Gorka Gorosabel.
Girona, for their part, fielded P. Gazzaniga in goal last time out, with a defence of Mateu Morey, David López, Alejandro Francés and Álex Moreno. The midfield pivot of Fran Beltrán and I. Gonzalez provided stability, while the attacking trio consisted of Y. Asprilla, Carles Pérez and Unai Hernández, with V. Vanat leading the line.
Saturday's fixture on 31 October represents a clear opportunity for Míchel's men to collect three key points before the international break. The game is set for 31 October in Zubieta.
