Valencia

DLLLDL 📉

Valencia will be looking for an improved result here following a 3-0 La Liga loss in their previous game against Atlético Madrid.

In that game, Valencia had 47% possession and 5 attempts at goal with 1 on target. Atletico Madrid had 14 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. Conor Gallagher (39'), Antoine Griezmann (54') and Julián Álvarez (94') scored for Atlético Madrid.

It has been seldom in recent games where Valencia have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that Valencia have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, letting in 12 goals along the way.

Leading up to this clash, Valencia:

• haven't beaten Girona FC in their last 3 matches in the league.
• are without a win at home for the past 7 league matches. Their supporters are understandably frustrated.

Girona FC

DLWWLL

After being beaten in their last game against Paris Saint-Germain in Champions League action, Girona FC will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Girona FC managed 36% possession and 3 attempts at goal with 1 on target. The scorer for Girona FC was Paulo Gazzaniga (90' Own goal). Paris Saint-Germain got 26 shots at goal with 5 of them on target.

Demonstrating their bias toward high-scoring matches, we’ve seen goals 23 times in the last six games in which Girona FC have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 3.83 goals per fixture. Opposition teams have got 8 of these goals. We will have to find out if that trend can be sustained in this game.

🗞️ Team News: Valencia

Hugo Duro (Muscle injury) and Mouctar Diakhaby (Knee injury) will not be able to play for Valencia manager Rubén Baraja.

It looks as if Los Che may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match and select Giorgi Mamardashvili, Thierry Correia, Cristhian Mosquera, Cesar Tarrega, Jesus Vazquez, Pepelu, Enzo Barrenechea, Diego Lopez, Javier Guerra, Luis Rioja and Daniel Gomez.

🗞️ Team News: Girona FC

We are inclined to think that Blanquivermells might utilise a 4-2-3-1 lineup by sending out Paulo Gazzaniga, Alejandro Frances, David Lopez, Daley Blind, Miguel Gutierrez, Ivan Martin, Oriol Romeu, Bryan Gil, Yaser Asprilla, Arnaut Danjuma and Abel Ruiz.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Girona FC and Valencia could well both score and end up finding themselves in a fairly even game here.
