Girona vs Valencia prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-03-14 20:00.
[p]While the doom and gloom of losing three consecutive La Liga matches in February is behind Girona, drawing their most recent two games won’t exactly have their fans feeling as if the tide has turned. They’ve consequently slid down to 13th place and their season could go either way at this point since they began this round eight points adrift of the European spots and seven points above the relegation zone. [/p]
[p]The White and Reds will be aiming to get closer to the European places, but a remarkable change in form is required as they’ve won just one of their last ten games across all competitions (D2, L7). Perhaps a meeting with Valencia is what they need to swing momentum their way again, having beaten their upcoming visitors in three of the last four H2Hs (L1).[/p]
[p]Valencia earned bragging rights in the reverse fixture by winning 2-0 win at the Mestalla to earn themselves a chance at just their second-ever La Liga double over Girona. Carlos Corberán’s men will make the trip off the back of a win to boost their confidence, seeing off last-placed Real Valladolid 2-1 last weekend to boast a record of just one defeat in their last six La Liga fixtures (W3, D2).[/p]
[p]Those 11 points have helped them steer clear of the relegation zone for now, but the margins are razor thin since they sat just one point above the drop zone prior to the weekend. Hitting the road could see Valencia back in the drop zone come the conclusion of the round, as their current away form reads no wins in their last 16 away league matches (D7, L9) – their longest winless top-flight winless streak since September 1983![/p]
[p]Players to watch: Cristhian Stuani might be due a start considering he has scored three goals in his last three home appearances against Valencia, but he’ll be dangerous either way having scored the most goals as a substitute across Europe’s traditional top-five leagues since the 2022/23 season. Aiming to steal the spotlight will be Valencia’s Luis Rioja, who scored in the reverse fixture and has seen four of his five goals this season serve as the match opener. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: The same half-time result has been replicated come full time in all of Girona’s last seven games. [/p]
