Girona continue their hunt for European football when they welcome Real Betis to the Estadi Montilivi in round 37 of La Liga on Sunday.
The Blanquivermells sit one point behind the Conference League qualification places, while Manuel Pellegrini's men need a point to secure their spot in the Europa League.
Girona suffered another blow in their quest for a place in Europa as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Celta Vigo last Tuesday.
The Blanquivermells have failed to win their last three matches, picking up two points from a possible nine, having won three consecutive games preceding that run.
With 49 points from 36 matches, Girona are currently ninth in the La Liga standings, one point adrift of the Conference League qualification places.
Elsewhere, Real Betis failed to return to winning ways in midweek as they fell to a 1-0 loss against Getafe on home turf.
This followed a goalless draw with Sevilla on May 21 which brought their run of two back-to-back wins to an end.
However, Real Betis have all but secured their spot in the Europa League as they sit sixth in the league table, six points above seventh-placed Osasuna.
