On the field they always perform well where the actual possession and opportunities are always favorable, it's just that the difference this season they have many gaps such as the attack line that has not been integrated, poor finishing and even weak defense which makes sometimes being in the Girona bet it makes me a little anxious about their condition.

Although in this match they are still a favorite for the bookmakers, I still think the risk of being in Girona is still quite large even though the opponent is Valladolid, which is actually below them.

This time, I saw that Girona dominated the whole match and I felt like they restored back the previous season performance. They controlled possession and created solid chances, with their effectiveness in attack every time they launch a counter attack or building a chance. It was refreshing to see them play with such confidence and precision again as if the struggles from this season didn’t exist or like switching to the old mode. Their finishing in every chance was good enough and their defense held strong, making the win feel deserved against Valladolid, which are now in last places of standings.

While they had gaps and inconsistencies recently, today’s game showed they still have that spark, probably due to the opponent’s position and performance too. The team isn’t like last season anymore, but they can regain that confidence starting from now, I personally enjoyed their matches last season, why not again?

They dominate almost every match they play, it's just that their finishing is a little weak now, although in last night's match they showed good things for 3 goals without reply, but in the end, in some moments their finishing is still not going perfectly and sometimes this is still a consistency problem that Girona has not been able to solve properly.

But even so at least my assessment of Girona in this match was wrong and that's good for them because I didn't expect much and didn't bet on yesterday's match so I'm happy with the 3 points and my pre-match assessment was wrong for them.
As for them being able to improve their form and return to the form of last season I'm not sure this will happen but the hope is that at least they don't drop too far between this season and the previous season not too lame in terms of performance.

The loss of midfielders like Aleix Garcia and Saviola means Girona's midfield has yet to return to form, and when Dovbyk left it was like they lost their momentum when finishing wasn't going well and Girona still can't recover that for now.
But when talking about Valladolid, actually the chance of 3 points can still be for Girona to get in this match because after all, seeing from the statistics and conditions they can still win especially when they are now playing home.

It's just that in this match Girona must be wary of Valladolid's fast counterattacks. Valladolid will carry out a defensive scheme because they realize that it is difficult for them to play an open game with Girona's offensive scheme so they will maximize defense and make quick counterattacks for options where this is likely to be difficult for Girona to anticipate because their defense is not too good. As long as it can be anticipated by Girona I think the chance of 3 points is still there.

Yep, losing some core players is a problem that Girona can't avoid this season but fortunately they can still survive well where they are still in a comfortable position even though their performance is not too good and they are also still in several competitions to add to the experience they have that is certainly a good thing for this season.

Yesterday's match also went well and indeed the 3-0 score is proof that they can still be taken into account, it's just that this kind of performance is sometimes erratic unlike before which makes Girona have to be able to focus more so that this kind of performance continues to last until the end of the season.
