The action continues in the Spanish La Liga as Girona and Almeria go head-to-head at the Estadi Montilivi on Sunday.
Both sides have had contrasting starts to the season, with Gaizka Garitano’s men currently rooted to the bottom of the league table.
Girona returned to winning ways in their last outing before the international break as they beat Cadiz 1-0 at the Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla.
Prior to that, Michel’s side suffered a 3-0 loss against Real Madrid on September 30 which saw their unbeaten start to the season come to an end.
With 22 points from nine matches, Girona are currently second in the La Liga table, just two points behind league leaders Real Madrid.
Elsewhere, Almeria failed to get up and running in the new season as they fell to a 3-0 loss against Athletic Bilbao last time out.
Gaizka Garitano’s men have now failed to win their opening nine La Liga matches, losing six and picking up three draws so far.
Almeria are currently rooted to the bottom of the league table, having picked up just three points from a possible 27.
