My Prediction
Girona by 2All right, let's dive into this Hispanic hoopla matching up Girona against Real Valladolid. We can't ignore the fact that Girona has been favored here, and for good reason. Girona's goalkeeper, Paulo Gazzaniga, has had a modest season so far, and even though his opposite number, Karl Hein, has had a slightly better run, statistics are like mini-skirts, they reveal a lot but hide the essentials.
Moving on, Real Valladoid's Marcos André and Anuar have both found the net once each. They've been decent but if I may chip in with a touch of honesty, not quite setting the stage alight, are they? Over at Girona, it is a different story, Ladislav Krejčí and Donny van de Beek have been thrice as prolific notching up 2 goals each. Bryan Gil, although he has only managed to score once, has shown some promising play. Excellent with his ball distribution, must tell you.
Looking back at history, Real Valladolid, however, did manage to edge out Girona on their last meeting. But would you rely on history to lay your bets when the present team seems like it has been hit by a sudden Dry January resolve?
Combing through the regular season records gives us a clearer picture. While Valladolid is weighing in at a dismal 3 wins, 3 draws, and 11 losses, Girona has managed a slightly more respectable 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. Real Valladolid's recent games have been a roller coaster ride, with too many downhill sections, while Girona seems to be picking up some steam.
So here is the magic word, dear friends. Taking every bit of this soccer soup into account:
