*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
Cristhian Stuani's stoppage-time equaliser at Rayo Vallecano on Monday night was enough to secure a point for Girona, putting an end to their three-game losing run.
With three matches remaining, Michel's side are in the relegation zone in 18th place, although, at the time of publishing, they are tied on points with four teams above them.
On the positive side, Bryan Gil is available for selection after serving a one-game suspension against Rayo. The former Valencia and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder has three assists for the hosts this term.
However, Juan Carlos and Donny van de Beek are still sidelined with cruciate ligament injuries, while Vladyslav Vanat and Marc-Andre ter Stegen cannot feature due to hamstring injuries.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad came from behind to secure a point against Real Betis last weekend, despite trailing by two goals with just over 11 minutes left in regulation time.
The Basque side have already secured a UEFA Europa League berth due to their Copa del Rey triumph, and with only three matches left to play, they are five points above the relegation zone.
Pellegrino Matarazzo's men will almost certainly ensure their safety with a victory here. They have lost only once in their last 11 clashes with Girona, although that defeat came in the reverse fixture.
The visitors have no fresh injury concerns, although Igor Zubeldia (hamstring) and Jon Karrikaburu (thigh) are still sidelined and in the last stages of recovery.
Jon Aramburu faced a one-game suspension against Betis, but the Venezuelan defender is now back with the team and should feature on Thursday.

Whispers Predicts: Girona 2-1 Real Sociedad
At 2.06, Girona are considered favourites by the bookies.
While the hosts are currently going through a rough patch, they did win two of their last four home games. Keeping in mind that Real Sociedad suffered three defeats in their last four away matches, we believe that Girona will emerge victorious in a tightly-contested affair.
Also, Girona have no clean sheets in five consecutive matches, while Real Sociedad saw their defence breached in each of their last six games. On that note, BTTS – Yes can be backed at 1.65.
We also fancy Real Sociedad/Girona HT/FT at 25.00. This combination landed in the reverse fixture.
> Over 2.5 total goals at 1.73 | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 1.65 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result: Girona at 2.06 | Likelihood: Probable
> Girona & BTTS – Yes at 3.70 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct Score: 2-1 at 8.70 | Likelihood: Outsider
