Latest Girona vs Valencia team news
Girona are likely to remain without Abel Ruiz due to a muscle injury, while Oriol Romeu's participation is also uncertain. However, the home team reported no further injuries after their 1-1 draw with Espanyol.
Coach Michel will likely keep most of the starting lineup from the previous match, but Arnaut Danjuma could be given a chance in attack.
Arthur played in central midfield in the last game and is likely to continue in that role, while Donny van de Beek could start from the bench.
On Valencia's side, Hugo Duro and Thierry Correia remain absent due to injury, but Los Che have no further squad problems, so they are likely to keep the same lineup from the match against Real Valladolid.
It would be no surprise if coach Carlos Corberán continues to put his faith in the current squad, with Umar Sadiq – who has scored four goals in his first seven games for the club – continuing to play as the central striker in place of Duro.
Fran Pérez and Pepelu may be considered as tactical changes from the bench, but Javi Guerra and Diego López are more likely to remain in the starting lineup.

Latest Girona vs Valencia football match prediction
Girona had an impressive 2023-24 season, finishing third in La Liga to qualify for the Champions League, but the current season has been much more difficult for them.
In fact, with nine wins, six draws, and 12 losses after 27 rounds, the Catalan team has only accumulated 33 points, currently sitting 13th in the standings, just seven points above the relegation zone.
Michel's team isn't in any real danger yet, but they've only won one of their last eight La Liga matches, with their most recent victory coming against Las Palmas in early February.
Girona have drawn with Celta Vigo and Espanyol in their last two matches, and another disappointing result against Valencia would put them at a significant disadvantage ahead of their clash with Barcelona at the end of March.
This season, Girona have earned 20 points from 13 home games in La Liga and will host Valencia, who haven't won an away game since the start of the season.
On Valencia's side, their forgettable away run dates back to April 2024, when their last victory at Osasuna was recorded. This clearly reflects Los Che's difficulties playing away from home, despite their relatively good home form relative to their league position.
In fact, Valencia have earned 21 points from 14 home games this season and went into the match against Girona having won 2-1 against Real Valladolid in the previous round.
Carlos Corberán's side have lost only one of their last six La Liga matches, that defeat coming at home against Atletico Madrid on February 22nd. Meanwhile, their most recent away game ended in a 3-3 draw against Osasuna earlier this month.
Valencia haven't been relegated since 1986, but if the situation doesn't improve, that prospect could become a reality. With six wins, nine draws, and 12 losses after 27 rounds, they only have 27 points, sitting 16th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone and one point behind Espanyol, who are 15th.
