Girona
Girona earned a creditable draw against Real Betis on the opening day of the season. They followed that up with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Real Madrid last weekend.
Head coach Míchel will be pleased with his team's performances so far, but he will know that they need to start converting their chances into goals if they are to challenge for a top-half finish this season.
Osasuna
Osasuna have also made a solid start to the new season, taking four points from their first two matches.
Jagoba Arrasate's side held last season's runners-up Barcelona to a 2-2 draw on the opening day of the season.

Girona won 1-0 at home in the 2021-22 season, while Osasuna won 2-1 away in the 2022-23 season.
Prediction
This is a difficult match to predict, but Osasuna may just edge it.
The visitors have a slightly better squad on paper, and they have also made a stronger start to the season.
However, Girona will be confident of causing an upset at home.
