Girona FC vs Real Valladolid Prediction 20 December 2024
Added on 18 December, 2024
The 18th round of La Liga opens with a match in Girona, where the home team will host struggling Valladolid.
Girona, currently 10th in the standings with 22 points and a 23:25 goal difference, has managed only one draw in their last six matches, highlighting their recent struggles. While they secured wins over Getafe (1-0) and Espanyol (4-1) in November, subsequent setbacks against Villarreal (2-2), Real Madrid (0-3), and Mallorca (1-2) have stalled their progress.
Valladolid, meanwhile, climbed to 19th place last weekend with a narrow 1-0 victory over Valencia, bringing their tally to 12 points despite a dire 12:34 goal record. This win followed a series of poor results against Atletico Madrid (1-1, 0-5), Getafe (0-2), and Las Palmas (1-2), leading to a managerial shake-up aimed at turning their season around.
While Girona’s superior quality on paper makes them favorites, their defensive vulnerabilities could offer opportunities for a reinvigorated Valladolid to push for a favorable result in this encounter.
