*These figures were accurate at the time of publishing.
Girona currently sit 14th in the La Liga table, just five points clear of the drop zone with nine games remaining. Securing their top-flight status is the priority, making every home point crucial during this final stretch of the campaign.
Despite their recent struggles, Michel's troops remain a threat at the Montilivi, where they have won three of their last five matches. They will prioritise a compact defensive shape to avoid a repeat of the five-goal collapse they suffered in the reverse fixture.
Only two teams have scored more goals than Villarreal in La Liga this season.
On the injury front, veteran forward Cristhian Stuani, who has missed his side's last four games due to a thigh injury, is expected to sit out this encounter.
Long-term absentees Portu (ACL), Juan Carlos (ACL), Donny van de Beek (ACL), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (hamstring), and Bryan Gil (MCL) remain sidelined for the hosts due to injury.
Villarreal, on the other hand, have struggled for consistency on the road, managing only one victory in their last six away games.
On the positive side, the Yellow Submarine are brimming with confidence after beating Real Sociedad 3-1. They arrive at the Montilivi on the back of a three-game unbeaten run.
Villarreal's long-term absentee Logan Costa is aiming to return to action this month after recovering from a cruciate ligament injury, but it is very unlikely the defender will feature on Monday.
Villarreal have opened the scoring in 10 consecutive meetings with Girona.
Pau Cabanes, who is also nursing a cruciate ligament problem, is entering the last phase of his recovery, with the forward scheduled to return towards the end of April.
Juan Foyth has been ruled out for the remainder of the season following an Achilles tendon rupture sustained during the defeat to Real Madrid on 24 January.
