We said: Espanyol 1-1 Girona

Girona are unbeaten in their last five in Spain's top flight, and they will be the fresher of the two sides, having not been in Copa del Rey action during the week. Espanyol will have taken a lot of confidence from their draw with Barcelona, though, so we are predicting a draw on Saturday night. Read more.
