Girona and Eibar will trade tackles for three points in a Segunda Division matchday 28 fixture on Saturday.
The two sides are coming into the game on the back of draws last time out. The hosts played out an entertaining 2-2 stalemate away to Real Valladolid last Saturday.
Samuel Saiz scored an 89th-minute penalty to help them leave Pucela with a point. Eibar were held to a goalless draw on home turf by Fuenlarada a day later.
Despite the stalemate, the Basque outfit held on to top spot in the table where they hold a one-point advantage over second-placed Almeria. Girona sit in sixth position, having garnered 42 points from 27 matches.
Girona vs Eibar Head-to-Head
Eibar have five wins from their last nine matches against Girona. Two games ended in a stalemate while Saturday's hosts were victorious on two occasions.
Their most recent meeting came in November when four different players scored to help Eibar secure a 4-2 victory on home turf.
Eibar are currently on a five-game unbeaten run in the league, with their draw last weekend halting a three-game winning streak. Girona have one win from their last five games in all competitions.

Girona vs Eibar Prediction
Eibar are slight favorites and the visitors will be looking to bounce back to winning ways following last weekend's slip.
Girona's poor recent form has not inspired confidence and anything other than a win could see the Catalans drop out of the playoff spots. The two sides have been expansive in attack this term and should do enough to each find the back of the net.
However, we are backing Eibar to secure a narrow victory with goals to be scored at both ends.
Prediction: Girona 1-2 Eibar
