La Liga leaders Girona will look to keep their slim advantage intact as they welcome European spot chasers Real Sociedad. This matchday 23 will be played at the Motilivi stadium on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are top with 55 points from 22 matches, while the visitors are 6th with 36 points. Girona are one point ahead of Real Madrid, having played a game extra. They are likely to give it their all in an attempt to keep their lead and extend their unbeaten run. The hosts are unbeaten across 14 league games, winning 11 and drawing three. Yet, two of those draws have come across their last five games and will be a challenge for Girona to keep winning.

Sociedad are six points behind top-five but with Real Betis only two points behind, will feel the heat of staying in the hunt. They have been struggling to close out games lately, which has hampered their chances of moving up the ladder. A goalless draw against Rayo Vallecano last time out meant they remain unbeaten in nine of their last ten league games. This sequence has seen them draw five matches though, which has pegged them back. That has been a regular occurrence on the road with Sociedad drawing three and winning three of their last seven away league games.
