Real Valladolid welcome Girona to the Estadio José Zorrilla on Tuesday, 13 May 2025 in what promises to be a key La Liga fixture. The match kicks off at 19:00 CEST across Spain, Italy, Germany and France, while UK viewers can tune in at 18:00 BST. Both sides will be eager to secure three points as the season heads towards its climax.
This encounter pits a side fighting to climb the table against a team pushing for European qualification. With Vital wins still available in La Liga, expect high intensity and tactical battles throughout the 90 minutes.
How are both teams coming into this?
Valladolid have endured a mixed run of form in recent weeks, collecting just one victory in their last five La Liga outings. Defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge up front have left Rubén Albés’ side hovering above the relegation zone. Confidence at the José Zorrilla is fragile, but home support could prove crucial.
Girona, by contrast, have been one of the surprise packages this season. Under Michel’s guidance they’ve amassed points against top opposition, sitting firmly in the top half. Their attacking flair—bolstered by the likes of Artem Dovbyk and Martin Zubimendi—makes them a constant threat on the break.
Our forecast
Given Valladolid’s struggles to control possession and Girona’s clinical finishing, we expect the visitors to edge this one. Girona’s momentum and goal threat should be enough to break down a resilient but out-of-form defence at the José Zorrilla.
Ultimately, a 1-2 Girona win seems the most likely outcome, with both teams chancing on the scoresheet. Under 3.5 goals looks a solid secondary pick, as Valladolid will defend deep to keep the scoreline respectable.
