• Competition: La Liga

• Kickoff: 17:30 UK / 18:30 CEST
• Venue: Estadio de Mestalla (Valencia)

Somewhat surprisingly, the team that had the worst start in the new LaLiga season is - Valencia. In the 5 matches played so far, they managed to win only 1 point, which is worse than Las Palmas, Valladolid, Getafe, Leganes, etc. It is quite certain that Valencia has an advantage in quality compared to many teams in this competition, but this is a strong competition where you have to prove some things on the field. The next rival will not be easy at all.

Girona had a fascinating performance last season when they flirted with 1st place for probably 3/4 of the entire season and ended up 3rd in the table. It was doubtful whether they would play in the Champions League, but they got the green light. In the 1st round, they lost against PSG, although they had an active score until the very end. In the championship, Girona achieved 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, which by current standards is a semi-successful result for them.

Valencia vs Girona pick: VALENCIA TO WIN AND COVER AH 0

Valencia can partially compensate for the disappointing results at the beginning of the season by winning this match. It's far from easy against the miracles from last year, but Girona now fell into something they've never been close to - a fight on two strong fronts. The question is how much depth they have in the roster and whether they will be able to achieve such good results once again. Another bad result would be disastrous for Valencia and they would remain stuck at the bottom of the table. We expect the home team to win, but it is certainly a better solution to go with AH 0. In case of a draw, the stake goes back to the pocket.
