Half of the total 12 encounters between the two sides have gone to Valencia, while Girona claimed victory in this fixture four times and the remaining two ended in draws. Last season, Los Ches proved stronger by securing a comfortable 2-0 win at Mestalla before playing out a 1-1 draw in Catalonia.
Girona team overview
Just two seasons ago, Girona caused a real stir in Spanish football, finishing right behind the eternal duo of Real Madrid and Barcelona and sealing a historic spot in the Champions League, but the following two domestic campaigns brought a sharp and painful decline.
Last term, the Catalan outfit survived in La Liga by the slimmest of margins, finishing just one point above the drop zone, while their start to the 2025-26 campaign has been nothing short of disappointing, remaining the only team without a win after seven rounds, hinting at another difficult year ahead.
A meager return of three points so far logically leaves the Blanquivermells at the bottom of the league table (D3 L4), and it seems any stumble against Valencia this weekend could be the final straw for coach Michel, given that the club’s management has already lost patience.
Girona is also struggling with a long injury list, as eight players are considered doubtful for Saturday’s clash, including key winger Viktor Tsygankov, who has been sidelined with a leg issue and missed the last five matches.

Valencia team overview
It’s no secret that Valencia are far removed from their title-winning era, but with a number of solid summer signings, they will target a return to the top six and a shot at European qualification for the first time since 2018-19.
Although it seemed they had found their rhythm after delivering a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao and grabbing a valuable point in a 2-2 draw at Espanyol, Los Ches stunned their fans by conceding two late goals within 60 seconds at Mestalla, falling to a 2-1 defeat against an undefeated Elche.
For Valencia to make a more serious push toward the European places, it is essential that they begin to show a far better face away from home than they did in their opening three LaLiga trips, from which they collected only a single point while conceding a troubling nine goals.
A positive sign for Los Ches is that they head into La Liga’s matchday eight with a clean bill of health, giving coach Carlos Corberan the luxury of having all his key players available.

Prediction
Since Girona are still searching for their first win of the season, while Valencia continue to struggle away from home, predicting the final outcome seems difficult, but we believe goals are the safest option as both sides enter LaLiga’s matchweek eight with an equal chance of victory. The Catalan outfit finds itself in the midst of a dry spell at home, having failed to score in three straight games, and will be eager to reignite its attacking spark, with a clash against a shaky Valencia backline that has already leaked nine goals on the road offering a real chance to break the drought. Still, the attacking potential of Los Ches cannot be questioned, and they should have no trouble finding the net, which makes us believe we’re in for an entertaining match at Montilivi.
Three Reasons we expect BTTS - YES
- The goalless draw with Espanyol last time out marked Girona’s first clean sheet of the season.
- Valencia’s defense has been breached nine times across their opening three LaLiga away matches.
- Three of the last five H2H encounters between these sides have seen both teams scoring.
