Valencia 2-0 Girona

Current streaks

Recent form

Valencia

Valencia's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently languishing at the bottom of the league table after securing only one point from their first five La Liga matches. The club is on a four-game winless streak in competitive fixtures, with their sole victory coming in a friendly against Eintracht Frankfurt. Defensively, Valencia has struggled, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. The team's matches have tended to be high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their games seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, their recent 3-0 loss to Atlético de Madrid marked their heaviest defeat in this period, while their 3-2 friendly win against Frankfurt was their highest-scoring game. With both teams scoring in two-thirds of their matches, Valencia's games have been entertaining, but the lack of positive results is a major concern for the club.

Girona

Girona's recent form has been inconsistent, with their last six games showing a mixed bag of results (DLWWLL). The team has struggled defensively, conceding 9 goals in their last 6 matches, with a particularly heavy 4-1 defeat against Barcelona. However, they've shown capability in attack, scoring 8 goals during this period, including an impressive 4-0 victory over Osasuna. Girona has managed two clean sheets in their last six games, both resulting in wins. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between high and low scoring affairs, with 50% of games going over 2.5 goals and 50% under. Despite their current 9th position in the league, Girona's goal difference of -1 and their ability to score suggests they have potential for improvement if they can tighten up their defense.

Recent home/away form

Valencia

Valencia's recent home form has been mixed, with no clear winning streak evident. Their last six home games have resulted in one win, three draws, and two losses, showcasing a struggle for consistency. Defensively, they've managed two clean sheets, but have conceded in four of the six matches. The standout game in terms of scoring was their 3-2 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in a friendly, which was their only match to exceed 2.5 goals. Their La Liga performances at home have been particularly challenging, with a draw against Villarreal and a loss to Barcelona. Valencia's goal-scoring record has been modest, averaging less than a goal per game, while their defense has allowed an average of one goal per match. This defensive record, combined with their low-scoring output, has resulted in 67% of their recent home games finishing under 2.5 goals.

Girona

Girona's recent away form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last six matches on the road. The team has struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and keeping just one clean sheet during this period. Their most recent away victory came against Sevilla in La Liga, breaking a run of three consecutive away losses. Notably, Girona has been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly in friendlies where they conceded 4 goals to Newcastle United and participated in a 5-goal thriller against Bournemouth. The team's goal-scoring output has been modest, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six away matches, which has contributed to their negative goal difference of -7 during this stretch.
