Valencia vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips - LaLiga

Prediction published on 19/05/2024, 04:58  by Sridhar in LaLiga Predictions

A stuttering Valencia side might struggle to overcome Girona, who are looking set to finish third in this league campaign. The matchday 37 fixture to be played at the Mestalla Stadium in Valencia will have the hosts ninth in the standings with 48 points, while the visitors are third with 75 points. Valencia are crawling to the end of the season and couldn’t have asked for the end to come sooner. They were beaten 1-0 by Real Sociedad in their last match, which was their fourth defeat across five league games. They could draw just once in this sequence while failing to score in three consecutive matches. That puts a question mark on their ability to overturn the reverse fixture result, which ended in a 2-1 win for Girona. Valencia’s home run has been equally poor, with no wins across their last four league matches here.

Girona’s season is also whimpering to a poor finish, as they start this round four points behind second-placed Barcelona. The visitors are unlikely to finish better than third, but they would like to end on a high. A 1-0 loss to Villarreal in their last match was a poor result, as it ended a four-game unbeaten run. In this sequence, they won three and drew once, and they would be keen to recreate that form. They scored 12 goals in that sequence and remain the second-best scoring side in the division, which makes them a scoring threat on this trip. They scored two goals in each of their last two away league games, winning four points in the process, as they look to overcome a poor run of five straight defeats prior to that.
