Girona vs Valencia prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-10-03 14:15.
[p]Girona’s hunt for a first win of the season continues at home to a Valencia side who have been disappointing recently.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]It has been a notoriously historic start to this La Liga campaign for bottom-of-the-table Girona, who extended their club record of winless matches at the beginning of a top-flight season to seven with an uneventful 0-0 draw against Espanyol last Friday (D3, L4). That extends the White and Reds’ overall run without a victory to nine games now (D3, L6), while at home the situation has been especially dire, as they have failed to even score in five of their last six encounters at Estadi Montilivi, resulting in five defeats and a draw in that time.[/p]
[p]That will be music to the ears of visitors Valencia, who will be feeling down on their luck after having their game against Real Oviedo pushed back by a day due to bad weather, only to concede in the 85th and 86th minutes to lose 2-1 in midweek. Prior to that, Los Ches had drawn 2-2 with Espanyol having led twice, meaning that they have now kept just two clean sheets in their last ten matches, with that leaky defence partly responsible for the fact that they have won only two of their last 25 La Liga outings away from home (D11, L12).[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Perhaps a meeting with Valencia can help reinvigorate MĂchel’s men, who have lost just one of the last five H2Hs (W3, D1), although Girona did not claim victory in either such fixture last season.[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Four of Girona’s last five games have featured under 2.5 goals.[/p]
[p]The half-time result has been replicated at full-time in six of Girona’s last eight home matches.[/p]
[p]The second half has produced more goals than the first in each of Valencia’s last five games.[/p]
[p]Eleven of Valencia’s last 14 away league matches have seen both teams score.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Summer signing Azzedine Ounahi will want to continue his positive start to life in Girona, and he regularly makes a tangible impact, having scored his side’s opener in his last three goalscoring appearances at club level. Valencia’s Pepelu has gone one better and scored the game’s opening goal the last three times that he has found the net. [/p]
[p]Girona have a lengthy injury list, headlined by Donny van de Beek being ruled out until next year, while Valencia have no injury concerns.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]This could turn into a tetchy affair between two sides desperate for a result, which makes under 2.5 goals an attractive betting prospect, as it is a market that has paid out in six of the last nine H2Hs.[/p]
