⚫ In the last round of La Liga, Carlos Corberán's side struggled to earn a point against Mallorca at the Iberostar Stadium, ending in a 1-1 draw. The "Bats" played defensively, trying to capitalize on opponents' build-up errors. However, a lack of understanding among players prevented them from fully executing their plan.

Girona Team Overview
⚪ The "White and Reds" have shown significant progress in the latter half of the season, yet their play cannot be described as fully cohesive or organized. Currently, Girona sit 13th in the league standings, with 38 points from 32 matches. Their defensive inefficiencies and lack of balance between lines contribute to notable issues in their build-up play. Girona's average performance metrics show 1.09 goals scored per game while conceding 1.5.
🔴 In a recent La Liga fixture, Girona suffered a setback at home against Real Betis (2-3). Despite Michel's side displaying boldness on the ball and a clear intent to threaten the opposition's goal, they lacked precision in the final stages of their attacks. The expected goals ratio was 1.38 to 1.05 in favor of the "White and Reds." In recent matches, Michel has opted for a 4-4-1-1 formation, which provides defensive compactness and facilitates a swift transition from defense to attack.

Latest news
Valencia
🎤 Valencia head coach Carlos Corberán attended the press conference following their match against Mallorca (1-1): “At the start of the game, we lacked the confidence and control needed to turn our attacks into something substantial. Then we had a period where we applied better pressure and gained more control. Mallorca found a way to overcome our pressing; it was challenging for us as they effectively neutralized our attacking potential. Without creating many clear chances, they skillfully pushed the game into our half. The beginning of the second half wasn't great. In a tough situation, without a pure central defender on the field, without a right-back, the team showed character, their identity, and resilience to secure a point.”
❌ Ahead of the next round of La Liga, Valencia's injury list includes Julen Agirrezabala (knee injury), Eray Cömert (abdominal muscle strain), Jose Copete (ankle injury), Mouctar Diakhaby (muscle injury), Dimitri Foulquier (knee injury), and Thierry Correia (muscle injury).
Girona
🎤 Ahead of the crucial clash with Valencia, Michel shared his expectations for the match and emphasized the importance of every single point in the remaining fixtures: "The league is very balanced, and tomorrow we have a new opportunity to do well and secure a victory that would be very beneficial for us. Valencia have a very strong squad and play an attractive brand of football. It will be a very challenging match, and the small details will be crucial. We need to look forward and be aggressive, keeping the ball in the opponent's half and quickly winning it back. We need to reclaim the points we missed out on against Betis."
❌ Among Girona's injured players are Juan Carlos (knee injury), Portu (knee injury), Abel Ruiz (muscle injury), Marc-André ter Stegen (hamstring injury), Donny van de Beek (Achilles injury), and Vladislav Vanat (leg injury).
