Real Valladolid manager Sergio and his team return home after a 2-2 draw away versus Deportivo Alavés in the La Liga. In the match before that, Real Valladolid hosted Getafe and drew the game 2-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with Real Valladolid perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Real Valladolid as a small favourite), we find five games. Real Valladolid has won 1 of these, drawn 2 and lost 2.

Girona form and stats

The visitors are W6-D4-L6 on the road this term. With the Girona losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Girona seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Girona play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Celta de Vigo. A 0-1 loss hosting Villarreal before that.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Girona playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were 2 Girona wins, 2 draws and 0 defeats.

Girona are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 19 away goals from 16 games. Girona have conceded 20 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Girona - Real Valladolid 0-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Real Valladolid-Girona H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Real Valladolid 4 wins, Girona 3 wins, 3 draws.
