Valencia have finally dragged themselves out of the La Liga drop zone and boss Carlos Corberan will be looking to continue their climb up the table when they visit Girona.
The former West Brom boss has done an excellent job since taking over at the Mestalla, with only both Madrid giants and Barcelona managing to beat Los Che in his 12 games at the helm.
A thrilling 3-3 draw with Osasuna, which bust my coupon, was followed by a 2-1 home win over Valladolid last weekend and that lifted Valencia up to 16th in the table.
But they're far from safe and it won't be easy on the road against a Girona side who are looking to finish on a disappointing season on a high.
After a stunning campaign that saw them finish third last term, it was always going to be difficult for Girona as they balanced domestic duties with a first crack at the UEFA Champions League.
Michel's side made an early exit from Europe so the focus is now on moving up from mid-table in La Liga. They've gone five games without a victory but their last two matches ended level so Girona will be out to get back to winning ways.
How the bookies view it: Valencia a bit overpriced
Despite their impressive recent form, Valencia are 5/2 outsiders with BoyleSports, which looks on the generous side. Girona are 20/21 favourites with home advantage and the draw pays 12/5.
Recent head to head: Los Che just edging it
With Girona only recently climbing into Spain's top flight, these sides have faced off just nine times. It has been pretty even, with five Valencia wins and four victories for Girona. Los Che won 2-0 at the Mestalla earlier this season but Girona came out on top in both meetings last term.
Players to watch: Sadiq full of belief
Umar Sadiq's confidence will be soaring after netting four times in his last four games for Valencia. The Nigerian striker is 11/4 at BoyleSports to keep his scoring run going.
Michel has been chopping and changing his forwards a bit but Spurs loanee Bryan Gil should start on the wing again. He's 4/1 for anytime scorer at BoyleSports and 9/2 for an assist with Bet365.
Probable line-ups
Striker Abel Ruiz is set to miss out again for Girona while midfielder Oriel Romeu is a doubt. Valencia are sweating on the fitness of Hugo Duro, Jose Gaya and Luis Rioja.
Girona: Gazzaniga, Gutierrez, Martinez, Lopez, Blind, Krejci, Arthur, Herrera, Tsygankov, Miovski, Gil.
Valencia: Mamardashvili, Mosquera, Gaya, Tarrega, Foulquier, Barrenechea, Guerra, A Almeida, Sadiq, Lopez, Canos.
Anything else catch the eye?
We've never seen a draw in this fixture but that could change in this match as these teams are evenly matched. The half-time draw is a safer bet, landing in the last two for Girona, and it pays 21/20 with BoyleSports.
With Valencia vastly improved under Corberan, backing them in the one goal ahead market at 6/5 with BoyleSports also looks good. That bet pays off if they take the lead, regardless of the final score.
Valencia's last four games have failed to hit double figures for corners so under 8.5 flag kicks could also stand a chance at 11/8 with BoyleSports.
