Girona will invite Real Valladolid to Estadi Montilivi in La Liga on Friday. The hosts have dropped to 10th place in the league table while Valladolid are in 19th place with 12 points, 10 fewer than Gironistes.
Blanquivermells are winless in their last six games in all competitions, suffering five losses. They met Mallorca in La Liga last week and fell to a 2-1 away loss. Donny van de Beek broke the deadlock in the seventh minute but Cyle Larin bagged a brace to help Mallorca register a comeback win.
The visitors returned to winning ways after six games in La Liga last week, with a 1-0 home triumph over Valencia. Anuar Mohamed Tuhami scored the only goal of the match in the 20th minute. Substitute Juanmi Latasa was sent off just seven minutes after coming off the bench.

Girona vs Real Valladolid Prediction
Blanquivermells have suffered three consecutive defeats and will look to improve upon that record. They returned to goalscoring ways after three games last week and will look to build on that form. They have an unbeaten home record in this fixture, winning seven of the nine games.
Oriol Romeu is a confirmed absentee after picking up his fifth yellow card of the campaign last week. Ladislav Krejčí returns from a suspension. Viktor Tsygankov, Bojan Miovski, and Yangel Herrera remain sidelined with injuries.
Pucelanos have seen an upturn in form, winning two of their last three games. They kept their first clean sheet since September last week and will look to continue that momentum. They have registered just one win in their last 12 away games in La Liga, which is a cause for concern.
New coach Diego Cocca will be without the services of Juanmi Latasa and Kike Pérez as they will serve suspensions here. Mamadou Sylla is injured while the involvement of Raúl Moro and Luis Pérez is doubtful.
While Gironistes have seen a drop in form recently, they have an unbeaten home record in this fixture. With that in mind and their better goalscoring record compared to the visitors, the hosts should be able to eke out a narrow win.
