Match Preview
| Girona kick-off the 2018/19 La Liga (LL) season on Friday, as last year’s newcomers face promoted Valladolid, a team looking forward to their 43rd season in Spain’s top flight after spending four years in La Liga 2 (LL2). |
| Girona will head into their second year in LL after an impressive debut 2017/18 season that saw the Catalan side finish in tenth place. |
| No longer coached by Pablo Machín – who left for Sevilla – Girona will be led by Eusebio Sacristán for this campaign. The new boss may have a tough start – Girona haven’t won any of their last five league home games (W0, D1, L4). |
| The host’s pre-season showed signs of improvement however, with four wins including a superb 4-1 victory over Tottenham (W4, L2, D1). |
| Valladolid finished last season fifth in LL2, gaining promotion after beating Sporting de Gijón and Numancia in the play-offs. The side from ‘Pucela’ will have high hopes after a decent pre-season (W3, D3, L2), yet their LL campaign will be without the now-departed Jaime Mata who scored 33 goals last season. |
| In the last five H2H clashes between these two teams at Montilivi, Girona are undefeated (W4, D1). |
| Players to watch: Girona will be happy they have managed to keep Portu at the club. The striker netted 11 times along with six assists last season, and will be a key figure this year. |
| One of Valladolid’s most anticipated signings is on-loan Ivi López. The Spanish forward scored four goals and notched three assists for Levante last season. |
| Stat attack: Girona have only scored a total of two goals combined in their last five competitive games at home. |
| Valladolid have lost just two of their last nine competitive away games (W5, D2, L2). |
| Girona had a strangely equal record at home last season, both winning and losing eight games (W8, D3, L8). |
