Girona vs Valencia prediction: Sadiq to net in score draw
Key stats
- Our Girona vs Valencia betting tips take into account that six of the last eight league matches involving the Catalans have produced over 2.5 goals.
- Valencia are unbeaten against teams outside of the top three of La Liga, since appointing Carlos Corberan as their new boss.
- Los Che have drawn 46% of their away matches in the Spanish top flight this term.
Correct score prediction: Girona 2-2 Valencia
Valencia are the side that takes much the better form into this game. While that’s largely because they’ve been strong at home, score draws at Osasuna and Villarreal in their last two road games should give them confidence heading into this.
As for Michel’s Girona, they’re looking low on confidence right now, and may be on course for a third straight league draw here.

Player to watch – Umar Sadiq
Valencia have offered a much-increased goal threat in recent weeks, and that’s largely down to January signing Sadiq. The Real Sociedad loanee has scored four goals in his last four appearances in La Liga.
Sadiq enjoying life with Los Che
So far in La Liga for Valencia, the Nigerian is averaging 1.9 shots and 0.4 key passes per game. That’s an increase from 0.7 shots and 0.1 key passes per game, when compared to his limited playing time with Real Sociedad this season.
