[Tips]:
Valencia have multiple defensive players absent, making their backline unstable, and they have been winless in recent rounds. They also failed to win in the first meeting between the two teams this season.

Although Girona have also been winless recently, they have put on impressive performances in consecutive matches against Real Madrid, Betis, and Villarreal.

Visiting Valencia who ranked lower than them in the league, Girona are expected to keep unbeaten.

Girona (+0.5)
