Girona have hit a rut in recent weeks, failing to win their last two fixtures. Will our AI-powered score predictor forecast Girona win over Valencia?
Los Rojiblancos started the season red-hot and challenged for the La Liga title in the first half of the campaign. However, post-Christmas, Girona fell off the title pace.
The team is now third in the standings but could finish as high as second or as low as fourth. Moreover, Champions League qualification is not guaranteed due to Girona’s relationship with Manchester City.

On matchday 37, Los Rojiblancos will travel to the Mestalla to face off with Valencia. Los Che are ninth in the standings. Like Girona, Valencia are on a run of poor form.
However, Valencia’s poor form stretches back longer. Los Che took just one point from the last 15 points on offer. They fell 1-0 to Real Sociedad last time out.
Scoring has been an issue for Valencia in recent weeks. They were held scoreless in each of the last three matches.
Los Che have scored just 37 goals in 36 matches this term. They have relied on defence this season, conceding just 40 times. However, recent matches have not gone well for the team’s rearguard.
Girona are La Liga’s second-highest scoring team. They have tallied 75 goals this season. The defence has played well enough, conceding 45 goals in 36 games.
However, it is the defence’s inability to keep goals out that has ultimately led to Girona falling away from first place.
Valencia took just two points from the last four matches at Mestalla. Los Che scored a mere one goal across those four home fixtures.
Girona are La Liga’s third-best away team, with 31 points coming from 18 road matches. However, Los Rojiblancos lost four of their last six away games. Just four points were collected during that time.
The trend between these teams is one of home victories. The home team won the last three head-to-head encounters between these clubs.
Girona, playing at home, won the last two matches between these teams. Earlier this season, Los Rojiblancos won 2-1 at home.
Striker Artem Dovbyk is La Liga’s leading goal scorer, with 20 goals. He has contributed to 27% of Girona’s scoring. Dovbyk is one of the most sought-after players ahead of the summer transfer window opening.
Our score prediction forecasts a Girona 1-0 win. Valencia’s poor form should see Girona win and end the trend of home team victories in recent meetings.
