Latest Girona vs Valencia team information
Girona are still likely to be without Abel Ruiz due to a muscle injury, while Oriol Romeu is also a doubt. However, the home side did not record any further injuries after the 1-1 draw with Espanyol.
Coach Michel is likely to retain most of the starting line-up from the previous match, but Arnaut Danjuma could be given a chance up front.
Arthur played in central midfield last time out and is likely to continue in that role, while Donny van de Beek could start on the bench.
On Valencia's side, Hugo Duro and Thierry Correia continue to be absent due to injury, but Los Che have no new squad concerns, so they are likely to keep the same squad from the match against Real Valladolid.
It would be no surprise if coach Carlos Corberán continues to trust the current squad, with Umar Sadiq – who has scored four goals in his first seven games for the club – continuing to replace Duro as the striker.
Fran Pérez and Pepelu could be considered for tactical changes from the bench, but Javi Guerra and Diego López are likely to remain in the starting line-up.

Latest football prediction Girona vs Valencia
Girona had an impressive 2023-24 season, finishing third in La Liga to qualify for the Champions League, but the current campaign has been much more difficult for them.
In fact, with a record of nine wins, six draws and 12 losses after 27 rounds, the Catalan team has only earned 33 points, temporarily ranking 13th on the rankings, only seven points above the relegation group.
Michel's side are not in real danger, but they have only won one of their last eight La Liga games, with their last triumph coming against Las Palmas in early February.
Girona have drawn with Celta Vigo and Espanyol in their last two games, and a disappointing result against Valencia could leave them in a difficult position ahead of their clash with Barcelona at the end of March.
Girona have picked up 20 points from 13 home games in La Liga this season and will host a Valencia side that have not won away from home since the start of the season.
Valencia’s run of disappointing away games stretches back to April 2024, when they last won at Osasuna, a clear reflection of Los Che’s struggles away from home, although their home form is still quite good considering their position in the table.
Valencia have picked up 21 points from 14 home games this season and head into the game against Girona following a 2-1 win over Real Valladolid in their previous game.
Carlos Corberán's side have lost just one of their last six La Liga games, that defeat coming at home to Atletico Madrid on February 22. Their last away game, meanwhile, ended in a 3-3 draw at Osasuna earlier this month.
Valencia have not been relegated since 1986, but if things don’t improve, that could become a reality. With six wins, nine draws and 12 defeats from 27 games, they have just 27 points, sitting 16th in the table, just one point above the relegation zone and one point behind Espanyol, who are in 15th.
