Girona
The team will remember last season for a long time – and will hardly be able to repeat it. Then the Girondins, collected for ridiculous money, admired everyone, but, as expected, their third place was a one-time jump above the head. And the debut in the Champions League, which was worth so much effort (a project related to Manchester City was put there with considerable effort and after seeking a compromise), turned into a real disgrace, with a number of incredible defeats that could not be compensated by a one-time victory over the humble Slovan. It is not surprising that in 2024 they finally lost to Liverpool, albeit 0:1. In the domestic arena, it is impossible to make the ratio of victories and defeats noticeably positive. On the contrary, by winter, a new decline began, which was emphasized by the defeat of Mallorca. And how can we forget the penalty shootout defeat in the cup against the modest UD Logroños with a field footballer in the goal!

Valladolid
The club continues the movement of a typical elevator. Agreed, once again, in 2023 in Segunda, he turned out to be strong for her, and although Pessolano, who was appointed in advance as the head coach, did not manage to prevent relegation from La Liga, he immediately brought his wards back. The Uruguayan was fired at the end of November, after the defeat by Atlético – the team, having only a couple of victories, at that time was in last place in the Primera table. Without Paulo, it was possible to win immediately, but in the cup, even then, Real Avila was pushed into extra time. Then there was a defeat in the championship of Las Palmas. But in the key match, with a direct competitor, Valencia, they won 1:0.
Statistics of personal meetings
Girona won two of their last four matches, but lost to a relegated opponent away from home in the spring of last year.
Forecast
Bookmakers are waiting for Girona to finally win. But it is not impressive at all, so it is worth applying a pragmatic option with a total of less than 3.0 goals (coefficient – 1.6).
