Leganes and Girona will battle for three points in a Segunda Division matchday 29 fixture on Sunday.
The home side will go into the game on the back of a 3-1 away victory over Amorebieta last weekend. Three different men got on the scoresheet to help Los Pepineros secure the win.
Girona fell to a 1-0 defeat to Eibar on home turf. Stoichkov's strike just before halftime helped the table-toppers leave Catalunya with all three points.
The defeat left Girona in sixth place, having garnered 42 points from 28 matches. Leganes are fairly comfortable in the 14th spot on 36 points.

Leganes vs Girona Prediction
Leganes have hit top gear at the right time as they seek a late push for qualification. A win would take the hosts to within three points of sixth position, which is currently occupied by Girona.
In light of this, the visitors will do all they can to prevent this from happening but are unlikely to succeed. Girona's recent patchy form has seen them falter in their quest to hold on to the playoff spot and we are backing their poor run to continue with another narrow defeat.
Prediction: Leganes 1-0 Girona
