Valencia vs Girona Prediction and Betting Tips | August 14, 2022

  /  autty

Valencia will get their 2022-23 La Liga campaign underway on Sunday when they welcome Girona to the Mestalla Stadium.

The visitors secured their promotion to the top flight last season and will look to announce their return to the top tier with a bang.

Valencia enjoyed a solid 2021-23 campaign, securing a ninth-placed finish in La Liga, picking up 48 points from 38 games. Los Che also progressed to the final of the Copa del Rey, where they suffered a disappointing penalty shootout defeat against Real Betis.

Valencia head into the weekend off the back of a fine pre-season, picking up three wins and one draw from five friendlies.

Meanwhile, Girona clinched promotion to the La Liga last season via the playoffs, claiming a 3-1 aggregate victory over Tenerife in the final. They secured a sixth-placed finish in the second tier last term, claiming 68 points from 42 games.

Girona picked up just two wins in pre-season, losing two and claiming two draws in six friendlies.

While Girona will look to announce their return to the Spanish top flight on a high, they face a more experienced Valencia side who have won their last two home games. Los Che should make use of their home advantage once again and come away with a slender victory.
