Girona vs Real Valladolid
Spanish La Liga
Date: 9 September 2022, Friday
Kick-off at 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
Venue: Estadi Municipal de Montilivi (Girona).

Real Valladolid got their maiden win of the season on Monday when they saw off fellow promoted side Almeria 1-0 at Estadio Municipal Jose Zorrilla.

Substitute Shon Weissman made the difference by netting the only goal of the game in the third minute of stoppage time.

The team led by Jose Rojo Pacheta will now take on another promoted foe Girona in the first match of Gameweek 5 on Friday evening away at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.

Girona sit lock on points with Valladolid as both outfits managed a win, a draw, and two defeats in the opening four rounds.

However, we must say that Michel’s troops have had a much easier schedule so far in the season.

Girona lone win came on the home patch against Getafe (3-1), but the Segunda Division promotional playoffs winners failed to back it up in the second home fixture, losing 0-1 to Celta Vigo on the occasion.

Michel’s squad were last in action on Saturday, playing out a 1-1 draw away at Mallorca. It was an evenly-matched contest which saw the two teams getting late goals.

Girona’s equalizer came through Samuel Saiz’s successfully taken penalty kick in the second minute of added time.

If we take away the mentioned 3-1 win over Getafe, Girona have managed to find the net only once in the remaining three league games.

Girona vs Real Valladolid Head-to-head

• The home court advantage has played a huge role in the history of this matchup.
• Girona, who have a negative H2H record overall, thus won five and drew two of the previous seven encounters with Real Valladolid at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi.
• Three of the last four head to head outings between these two rivals ended with fewer than three goals scored.

Girona vs Real Valladolid Prediction

Both Girona and Real Valladolid have scored late goals in the stoppage time in the previous round. They are both struggling for creativity at the beginning of the season which is why we see the Under 2.5 goals FT as by far the best betting pick here at the odds of 1.66.

You can alternatively take the 2.05 odds offered for the second half to be the half with most goals based on the performances both outfits have shown last weekend.

Girona vs Real Valladolid Betting Tips

• Under 2.5 goals FT @ 1.66 (4/6)

• Half with most goals – Second Half @ 2.05 (21/20) odd.
