Girona
The team will remember last season for a long time – and is unlikely to be able to repeat it. Then the Girondins, collected for ridiculous money, fascinated 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 (the project associated with Manchester City was allowed there with considerable effort and after finding a compromise), turned into a real disgrace, with a series of incredible defeats that could not be compensated by a single victory over the humblest Slovan. Therefore, it is not surprising that in the end in 2024, they also conceded to Liverpool, even if it was 0:1. In the domestic arena, it is impossible to make the ratio of wins and losses significantly positive. On the contrary, by winter, a new decline began, which was emphasized by the defeat of Mallorca. And how to 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. Once again, in 2023, he got to Segunda, he proved to be strong for her, and although Pessolano, 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 removed at the end of November, after the defeat by Atlético – the team, having only a few victories, was in last place in the Primera table at that time. Without Paulo, it was possible to win immediately, but in the cup, and then Real Avila was pressed in 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 have won two of their last four matches but lost away to relegation rivals last spring.
Forecast
Bookmakers expect that Girona will finally win. But it is absolutely not impressive, so it is worth applying a pragmatic option with a total of less than 3.0 goals (coefficient – 1.6).
