Valencia
The team finished in ninth place last season. Not such a bright result, again without European cups, but at least it was finally possible not to think about survival, for the first time in recent times. But it seems that we have to remember again what it is. And coach Ruben Baraha, a local legend, remained at his post, and both football players did not suffer critical losses. But the bats lost not only to Barcelona, but also to easier opponents – Athletic and Celta, and only with Villarreal, at the end of the summer, they took the first point, playing 1:1. The autumn segment, after a break for national team games, began with a match against Atlético, also on the road. Nothing went right there: a big defeat and, as a result, a place at the very bottom of the table.
Girona
The club became an absolute discovery, even a sensation last season. A year ago, he was generally in the lead, as a result, however, slipping to third place – Real Madrid and Barcelona missed out. But at the same time, they overtook even Atlético, securing the right to debut in the Champions League. They played there this week away from PSG. France had every chance to start with an honorable goalless draw. But in the end, Hassaniga, who helped earlier, missed a curious ball. Before that, Michel Sanchez’s wards had already held half a dozen meetings in the Premier League. They started badly, with a draw with Betis and a crushing defeat against Atlético. But then they managed to beat both Osasuna at home and Sevilla away. In September, when hosting a status neighbor, Barcelona, the team clearly did not cope and lost crushingly, 1:4.
Statistics of personal meetings
All three of the last matches ended in victories for the Girondins.
Forecast
Bookmakers even at Mestalla quote the odds of los ches as slightly lower. Let’s agree that the guests look more cheerful, and take their victory with a handicap of 0 (coefficient – 1.8).
