Girona back in domestic action after debut UCL defeat.
Valencia, desperate for their first victory of the La Liga season, face a tough challenge at Mestalla against Girona, who arrive eager to bounce back from recent setbacks and capitalize on Los Che's home struggles.
Valencia
Rubén Baraja’s Valencia have endured a difficult start to the 2024-2025 La Liga campaign, picking up just one point from a possible 15. Their latest setback was a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Atlético Madrid, marking another chapter in a disastrous season so far.
Goals from Conor Gallagher, Antoine Griezmann, and Julián Alvarez sent Los Che to the bottom of the table, one point behind 19th-placed Las Palmas. After the loss, Baraja commented, ‘We have to watch the match, take the positive things, and think about the next match.’
Valencia are one of just three teams yet to secure a victory in La Liga this season. They will hope for a change in fortune when they welcome Girona to the Mestalla this weekend, aiming for a maiden win.
However, their unimpressive home form raises doubts about their ability to claim maximum points. Valencia have not won any of their last seven home league games, a streak carrying over from last season.
Adding to their woes, Valencia have lost their last three encounters against this weekend’s opponent, including a 3-1 defeat in their final home game of the previous season. Dani Gómez and Javi Guerra are expected to lead the attack in Baraja’s 4-4-2 formation.
Meanwhile, Rafa Mir will miss Saturday’s match due to disciplinary actions.
Girona
Meanwhile, Girona are coming off a heartbreaking 1-0 loss to French side Paris Saint-Germain in their opening game in the Champions League. Just when it looked like Girona were going to be rewarded for being resilient on their UCL debut, Paulo Gazzaniga unfortunately failed to deal with a seemingly easy effort.
Nuno Mendes' deflected effort found its way through the goalkeeper's legs, resulting in an own goal and ending the game in dramatic fashion. "We have to recognise that their victory is deserved, but we are proud of the way we work," Michel told reporters.
Back to domestic action this weekend, Girona will aim to get back to winning ways when they travel to Valencia, having suffered a humiliating 4-1 loss against Barcelona last Sunday. Following the loss, the White and Reds slipped to 10th place, tied on points with the 9th-placed Alavés.
Buoyed by their last league result on the road, a 2-0 victory against Sevilla, Girona will fancy their chances to grab maximum points against a Valencia side that has lost four of their last six home league games. A 4—2—3—1 formation is expected, with Arnaut Danjuma in attack.
