Real Valladolid vs Girona Preview and Team News

Real Valladolid Team News

Real Valladolid are to be relegated from La Liga at the end of the season. They’ll want to give their supporters something to cheer about when they take on Girona in a midweek fixture in round 36 of the league. 

However, their defensive frailties have left them bereft of both confidence and morale this season, and we don’t expect much to change in this meeting. Injuries have had a major say in the way Real have performed so far. Again, they’ll have to make do without the likes of Javi Sanchez, who picked up a hamstring injury.

Joseph Aidoo is suffering from some physical discomfort and may be unable to make it to the starting lineup. David Torres recently picked up a hernia injury. For Valladolid, the most important thing on Tuesday would be to keep an eye on the Girona midfielders. They like to push deep to get the ball and then recycle it for their more attack-minded colleagues to use. 

The hosts usually play with a 4-2-3-1 formation in which a lot of emphasis is paid to the passing of the ball in a fluid manner. However, the execution of such plans have not gone well for them this season, and the same will bother them this week. The fact that they have not kept a clean sheet in their last 16 encounters speaks volumes about the way Real Valladolid’s defence have shaped up.

Girona Team News

Girona are only slightly better ranked than Valladolid in the league table. Although they are 15th, they’ve missed the bus in terms of qualifying for European competitions next season. For the next few gameweeks, their manager, Michel, will be keen on giving his youngsters an opportunity and perhaps rotating his squad to rest his senior players. 

The visiting club usually line up in a 4-3-3 formation, which suggests plans of an attacking nature. That will be exciting to watch against a weakened Valladolid defence. Portu, Stuani, and Tsigankov will be interesting to view as they’re renowned for finding space in the direst of places and making ways to shoot at the target.

However, with Bryan Gil injured, Girona will be dealt a huge blow. His presence on their side gives the rest of the players a boost and allows them to play their natural game. Yangel Herrera will be out – he picked up his suspension in the team’s previous encounter, a 0-1 loss to Villarreal. Ladislav Krejci too has been suspended.

Former Manchester United midfielder Donny van de Beek is a doubtful starter due to some issues with his ankle. Ricardo Artero has been ruled out for the rest of the term. Gabriel Misehouy and Miguel Gutierrez may not be available for this meeting either.

Girona Prediction

• Pick: Girona to win or draw
• Odds: 1.212 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Real Valladolid 1-2 Girona

The visitors have an upper hand over Valladolid in this encounter since they are the better-ranked side, and we expect them to win it comfortably. Girona’s defence have been leaky this season, which has, in more ways than one, prevented them from putting up a fair fight against any of their opponents. There have been a total of 18 games recorded between the sides in the past, out of which the home team have remained unbeaten in 11. 

In reply, Valladolid have only defeated their opponents on seven occasions. In this tournament in particular, Girona have gone unbeaten in three out of the five previous events against the guests. This match also gives the hosts the opportunity to break their duck at this venue since they have not had a victory over the visitors here in the past.

Real Valladolid vs Girona Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2 goals
• Odds: 1.38 (22Bet)

A total of over 2 goals will be expected in this game, with Girona dominating proceedings. Lately, Valladolid’s attackers have seemed lacklustre and devoid of confidence, and they’ll be expected to make a lot of mistakes in this match. 

Girona, on the other hand, are known to be precise in their shooting in the final third despite not having been victorious more than once in their previous five outings.

Although they have not been at the level they would ideally wish to be this term, for Girona, the road to recovery next season begins here. For Valladolid, there is virtually nothing to play for as they are destined for La Liga 2 by the end of this campaign. This could also wreak havoc with their state of mind.
