Girona will hope to halt their winless streak on the road when they take on Real Madrid at the Bernabeu on Friday night.
The Catalan outfit have failed to win their last five away outings and will set their sights on one of their biggest wins of the season.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, will look to return to winning ways, building momentum ahead of their crucial UEFA Champions League quarter-final second leg against Bayern Munich next week.

With their disappointing home defeat against Bayern Munich earlier this week, Real Madrid have now lost back-to-back games for the third time this season. Interestingly, the last time Los Blancos lost three consecutive games across all competitions was in July 2019.
Alvaro Arbeloa's troops are seven points behind leaders and arch-rivals Barcelona with only eight matches remaining, so they need all the points they can get to keep their title hopes alive.
Real Madrid will have to do without the services of first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois (thigh), Rodrygo (ACL, out for the season), and Ferland Mendy (muscle) due to injuries, while Franco Mastantuono is suspended for this clash.
Holding midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni will not be available for Los Blancos next week against Bayern Munich because of suspension. This means the Frenchman will almost certainly start on Friday, with the likes of Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Brahim Diaz likely getting minutes from the start.
Girona, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence after their hard-fought victory over Villarreal last weekend.
However, although they have now won back-to-back home games, Michel's side have not been particularly impressive on the road, with no wins in five consecutive away matches.
On the injury for Girona, Donny van de Beek (Achilles), Portu (knee), Juan Carlos (knee), Marc-Andre ter Stegen (hamstring), and Ricard Artero (ankle) will all miss the game in Madrid due to the aforementioned injuries.
Vladyslav Vanat and Daley Blind were both forced off in the clash with Villarreal last time out, and it remains to be seen if both players will be ready for this encounter.

Whispers Predicts: Real Madrid 3-1 Girona
At 1.32, Real Madrid are considered favourites by the bookies, and with 13 wins in 15 home league matches this season, we can see why.
Girona have managed only three wins in 15 away games so far, and given their poor track record against Madrid in the last five H2Hs (D1, L4), anything other than a victory for Los Blancos would be a surprise.
It's also worth mentioning that Real Madrid's last five fixtures produced goals at both ends, as did four of Girona's last six trips to this stadium.
Taking everything into account, we fancy Real Madrid & BTTS - Yes at 2.40.
> BTTS - Yes at 1.75 | Likelihood: Probable
> Over 3.5 goals at 2.05 | Likelihood: Probable
> Match result - Real Madrid at 1.32 | Likelihood: Probable
> Real Madrid & BTTS - Yes at 2.40 | Likelihood: Possible
> Correct score: 3-1 at 10.00 | Likelihood: Outsider
