Girona FC travels to Vitoria this Friday to face Alaves, aiming to maintain their positive momentum and secure three vital points towards their 42-point safety target.

Following a historic victory against Barça at Montilivi, Michel Sanchez's squad must refocus for a demanding away fixture. The match at Mendizorroza is a key opportunity to distance themselves from the relegation zone and confirm the team's excellent form in 2026.
Alaves is known for its intensity and home strength, having earned 18 of its 26 points in front of its own fans. Girona previously found success at this venue last season, thanks to a late goal by Jhon Solis.
The team faces several absences, including Alex Moreno, Van de Beek, and Ter Stegen due to injury, while Joel is suspended. Arnau is expected to return to the starting lineup as left-back.
