Valencia vs Girona Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st September 2024

Valencia enjoy home advantage, when visitors Girona swing by this coming Saturday for a clash in the LaLiga. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

A look at the LaLiga standings shows that six points and ten places currently separate the two teams.

Girona are looking to widen the gap between them and Valencia in the LaLiga table when they take on each other on Saturday. The home side will be keen to prevent the difference from increasing any further.

Valencia scored six times in the last ten outings for an average of 0.6 goals a game. They conceded 17 and managed one clean sheets.

Girona are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the LaLiga, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. The visitors scored 2.4 times on average per match, for a total of 24 goals. They also let in 14 goals, leaving an average of 1.4 per match. They fought their way to three clean sheets.

Girona won 3-1 and 2-1 in the two most recent meetings with Valencia, and go into their upcoming match with a psychological advantage.

Valencia vs Girona Prediction

Valencia Form

Only a single draw prevents Valencia from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 1-0 defeat against Athletic Club, before drawing 1-1 with Villarreal. They came up empty-handed once again when Atletico Madrid ran out as 3-0 winners. Valencia didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six LaLiga games at the Estadio Mestalla. They have a record of two draws and four defeats, in which they conceded nine and scored four goals.

Girona go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place.

Girona Form

Girona have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it started with a 0-2 win against Sevilla. Unable to follow that up, they went down 1-4 against Barcelona, before suffering another loss in a 1-0 match against Paris Saint-Germain. Girona won half their previous six away matches in the LaLiga, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored ten goals whilst conceding seven.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Girona, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

It seems both Girona and Valencia have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Saturday, and we are rooting for goals.

Valencia are looking at a record of zero wins, one draw and four defeats in the LaLiga this season. Girona enjoy a record of two wins, one draw and two defeats in the LaLiga.
