Girona continues to be one of the stories of the season in La Liga this term, and they will be looking to continue their fairytale start to the new season on Sunday when they welcome Valencia to town.
La Liga Preview
Few sides have caught the imagination as much as Girona this term, and they continue to be among the pacesetters in the competition after 14 rounds of matches. The Spanish side has won eleven of their 14 matches, while they have suffered just one defeat. No side in the competition has suffered fewer defeats at this stage of the season.
Girona’s unlikely title push was dealt a slight blow in their previous match, as they could only play out a 1-1 draw against Bilbao. However, that was only the third match this term that the Spanish side has dropped points. They come into this weekend as the highest scorers in the competition, and that could be a key trend to consider against Valencia’s leaky defence.
Valencia spent almost the entirety of last season battling at the wrong end of the La Liga standings. However, they have already made a bright start to the new campaign, which could suggest that they are likely to finish closer to the top six than they are to the bottom three.
But, the visitors will be looking for an improved performance this weekend, as they have won just once in their previous four matches in La Liga. Meanwhile, they come into the weekend after going two matches without a victory in the competition. Last weekend, they looked short in the final third after playing out a 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo.
Girona vs Valencia Head to Head
Girona picked up a fine 1-0 win in this exact fixture last term. But, that was only their second win in six previous matches against Valencia. The visitors have dominated the previous encounters over that period, winning on four occasions.
Girona vs Valencia Prediction
Girona were dealt a slight blow last weekend, as they could only play out a draw against Bilbao. However, they will be heavily expected to get back on track in the Spanish top-flight this weekend, and we find it hard to bet against the hosts picking up maximum points to keep tabs on Real Madrid at the top of the La Liga standings.
