On Monday night, the surprise leaders of La Liga, Girona, host Alaves at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi as the home team looks to continue an excellent recent run of form.
Fresh from winning 4-2 at Barcelona in a Catalan derby last time out, Michel’s team will look to extend their eight-game unbeaten run in the Spanish top-flight with another good result in this clash.

The win at the reigning champions was their seventh in eight games in the Spanish top-flight. It also saw Girona score at least two goals for the fourth time in five league matches.
The home team heads into this clash on the back of a four-game unbeaten home run in La Liga, including three wins and a draw.
Their recent home games in La Liga have certainly not been short of goals, as 11 of their previous 14 matches in the Spanish top flight have produced over 2.5 goals.
The visitors saw a three-game unbeaten run end last weekend as they suffered a 1-0 home defeat against Las Palmas.
The result means that Alaves have won just once in their previous four outings in the Spanish top-flight.
The game was another low-scoring one for Alaves, as 11 of their previous 14 matches in La Liga have produced over 2.5 goals.
Their recent unconvincing form has left Alaves in 13th place in the Liga table, six points clear of the relegation zone.
Alaves have been poor travellers of late in La Liga, as they are winless in their last 23 away games.
Their recent away matches in the Spanish top flight have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous eight games.
Forebet predicts that Girona will continue their outstanding recent form by claiming a victory in a low-scoring game.
