Valencia take on the visitors Girona in the round 1 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, August 14th at Mestalla (Valencia).
Valencia last season played under the leadership of Pepe Bordalas. And finally it turned out to give out good football. First of all, in the cup, where it turned out to reach the final. But there "bats" after 1-1 in the playing time was defeated on penalties by "Betis". At the same time, due to the increased attention to the Copa, they gave up on La Liga. The result was a long losing streak. And, despite the victory in the last round over Celta, in the end they took only 9th place. As a result, Peter Lim again changed his mentor. Gennaro Gattuso will now work for Mestalla. Still, as a tactician, perhaps Bordalas is head and shoulders stronger. The lineup hasn't changed much. Yes, we broke up with a number of players. But there were expected more newcomers, and they are still possible.

Girona made it to the LaLiga, for the 2nd time in history. This summer, they were successful the playoffs, perhaps due to the accumulated experience from previous attempts. Michel's wards were able to consistently knock out Eibar (0-1, 2-0) and Tenerife (0-0, 3-1). On the other hand, in the regular season, the representative of Catalonia took only 68 points in 42 matches. And they took the 6th, getting ahead of Real Oviedo only in additional indicators. It is obvious that the composition had to be sharply strengthened. Fortunately, there is support from Manchester City. Ian Couto came directly from there, and Valentin Castellanos, the best striker in MLS, also came from New York within this structure.
In those 2 seasons that she spent in the Girona elite, they won a head-to-head against Valencia only once. The remaining 3 remained behind the "bats". Bookmakers believe that there is no particular intrigue. Valencia are playing at home, and with a newcomer to La Liga. We are waiting for Gattuso to start with a victory.
Prediction for the match: Valencia to win.
