Valencia

Match Prediction: Girona vs. Valencia
The Catalans are fighting for survival, and their main hope for staying in La Liga lies in their home performances. In their last two home league games, Girona has only managed one point, despite facing teams from the lower half of the table. It's time for the team to end this nascent winless streak, as they haven't gone three consecutive league matches without a win since October 2022. Meanwhile, Valencia hasn't tasted victory away from home in the league since April last year.
The game also promises to be high-scoring. Girona has conceded in eight consecutive home league matches, yet they have scored in 8 of their last 9 home games. Valencia has conceded in 14 of their last 15 away league matches, but they have also scored in 7 of their last 8 away games.
My prediction: 1X and Total over 1.5 goals
