Girona will welcome Valencia to Estadi Montilivi in La Liga on Saturday. The hosts have endured a winless start to their league campaign and are at the bottom of the league standings. Los Ches have not fared much better and have two wins from seven games.
Blanquivermells avoided a loss for the second consecutive match last week as they were held to a goalless draw at home by Espanyol. They failed to score for the fourth time this season.
The visitors are winless in their last two league games and fell to a 2-1 home loss to Oviedo in their previous outing. Arnaut Danjuma broke the deadlock in the fourth minute to give them the lead but he failed to double their lead in the second half, as he missed from the penalty spot. Oviedo produced a remarkable comeback, scoring in the 85th and 86th minutes to overturn the deficit.
