Real Madrid will hope to reignite their La Liga title bid when they host Valencia on Saturday.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side cruised into the Champions League knockout stages with a 3-0 win over Braga in midweek but draws against Sevilla and Rayo Vallecano mean the only win in their past three domestic matches was last month's dramatic 2-1 Clasico triumph at Barcelona.
It means Girona are the surprise frontrunners after 12 matches and the Catalan club can increase their one-point advantage over Los Blancos when they travel to face Rayo in Saturday's early kickoff.
Valencia are eighth in the table and in solid form. Ruben Baraja's men are undefeated across five games in all competitions since a 3-0 loss to Real Betis on October 1.

Real Madrid vs Valencia lineups, team news
Third-choice goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is set to start as he did against Braga after Kepa Arrizabalaga suffered an injury during the warm-up to join long-term absentee Thibaut Courtois on the sidelines.
Jude Bellingham rested up on the bench with a sore shoulder in midweek and is set to return. A suspension for Antonio Rudiger means Nacho is likely to start at centre-back.
Real Madrid (4-3-1-2, right to left): Lunin (GK) — Carvajal, Nacho, Alaba, Mendy — Camavinga, Valverde, Kroos — Bellingham — Rodrygo, Vinicius
Selim Amallah was withdrawn during last weekend's win over Granada and is a doubt for Valencia. Dimitri Foulquier is the favourite to start out wide if Amallah doesn't make it.
Valencia (4-4-2, right to left): Mamardashvili (GK) — Correia, Mosquera, Gabriel Paulista, Gaya — Perez, Pepelu, Guerra, Foulquier — Lopez, Duro
Real Madrid vs Valencia prediction, odds
Valencia are in good shape and will sense an opportunity to get something out of this one, especially given Madrid's goalkeeper situation and the absence of Rudiger.
However, with Bellingham back and Madrid knowing they need to kick things up a notch domestically, expect Ancelotti's side to get the job done in a tight game.
