Valladolid take on the visitors Girona in the round 30 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, April 22nd at Estadio José Zorrilla (Valladolid).
In the last round, Real Valladolid ended their four-game winless streak in the championship by sensationally defeating Villarreal (2-1) away from home, and pulled away from the relegation zone by five points. However, one should not overestimate the team of Paulo Pezzolano. Firstly, according to the xG indicator in that match, "the yellow submarine" had more chances. And secondly, as I mentioned, the victory over Villarreal was the first for the white and purple team in the last five La Liga matches. I don't consider Valladolid the favorite in the upcoming match against strong Girona.

Girona are indeed a very strong mid-table team in La Liga this season. They are currently in ninth place in the table, not involved in any survival battle, and even closer to the European competition zone than to the relegation zone. Michell's team has not lost in the league for four consecutive rounds (two wins, two draws). And in the last eight league matches, they have only suffered one defeat - against Atletico Madrid. Valladolid is far from Atletico, so I believe that Girona will at least draw in the next round.
What do we have in the end? Recently, the hosts rarely win, while the guests practically do not know defeats. In fact, both teams have motivation: one is fighting for survival, and the other - for a place in the European competition zone (why not?). But if we compare the opponents in terms of football quality and results, then Girona is definitely not an outsider here. Recently, the home field factor has not been of great help to Valladolid - only one win in their last four home matches. And on the contrary, Girona has only lost once in their last four away matches in La Liga. Moreover, they defeated Athletic Bilbao (3-2) away from home and shared points with Barcelona at Camp Nou (0-0). And the head-to-head matches are in favor of the guests. Girona took a draw (2-2) from their last meeting with Valladolid away from home and were stronger (2-1) in the first round of the current season. I think that even now, the white and red team will not lose at least. Bet - X2.
Prediction for the match: Girona not to lose (X2).
