Real Sociedad will host Girona at Anoeta Stadium in La Liga on Friday. Sociedad currently have four wins and hold a four-point lead over the 18th-placed visitors.
Txuri-Urdin suffered a second consecutive defeat in La Liga last week as they lost 1-0 away to Deportivo Alavés in their first game of the month. They failed to score for the first time since October and will look to return to goal-scoring ways.
Blanquivermells have won just one of their last seven league games. They have lost their two games this month. After a 2-1 away loss to third-tier side Ourense in the Copa del Rey, they fell to a 3-0 away defeat to Elche in La Liga last week.
