How long will the Gironin dream last?
When a smaller club delivers a run of results beyond expectations, the emotional component plays a key role. Any moment of doubt can tip the balance. That moment could arrive if Girona slips after a 1-1 home draw with Athletic Club following six consecutive wins.
Valencia is not enjoying a banner period either and has not won away from home in La Liga for three months. Yet there is no single clear pattern to their play, and Valencia has already shown it can spring surprises, like the 3-0 victory over Atlético de Madrid.
Without trying to forecast a final score, one can anticipate how the match may unfold in the opening exchanges. A draw at halftime seems plausible, as Girona has drawn in five of its last matches and nine of its 15 official fixtures this season. It is also worth noting that Valencia played to a 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo.
A more eventful second half
Considering that about 60% of Girona’s league goals this season have come after the break and Valencia has produced roughly 70% of its goals in the second half, a high-scoring second period is not far-fetched for Montilivi. Additionally, 10 of Girona’s 15 league games this season featured goals from both teams, a pattern echoed in five of Valencia’s seven away league appearances, including the latest three.
In this narrative, Rubén Baraja is keen on a speedy recovery for José Gayà, a key defender for his squad, while Míchel is pleased to have Artem Dovbyk available again. The Ukrainian forward, who was left out in the draw with Athletic, has netted in three of his last four league appearances, including a brace against Almería, and contributed to Girona’s goal tally in eight of the 14 league goals in their recent form. In five matches for the striker, this has translated into four goals and four assists.
