The 2023-24 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Valencia take on an impressive Girona side at the Estadio de Mestalla on Sunday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and will want to win this game.
Girona are in third place in the La Liga standings and have been fairly impressive this season. The away side slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Villarreal last week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Valencia, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. Los Che suffered a 1-0 defeat against Real Sociedad in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Valencia vs Girona Head-to-Head
Valencia have a narrow edge over Girona and have won four out of the seven matches between the two teams. Girona have managed three victories against Valencia and will look to level the scales this weekend.
