Valencia and Girona will start their 2022\/23 La Liga campaign when they face off at the Mestalla Stadium on Sunday night.<\/p>\n

Los Che will be looking to improve this season as they aim for European spots and another impressive run in the Copa del Rey. They have had a fine a pre-season period, picking up three wins and one draw from five friendlies. They claimed a 2-1 victory over Atalanta in their final pre-season tie and will be looking to build on that as they seek a positive start to the new league campaign.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile Girona managed to clinch promotion to the La Liga last season via the playoffs, where they claimed a 3-1 aggregate victory over Tenerife in the final.<\/p>\n

They lost and drew their last two friendlies against Napoli and Real Zaragoza respectively and have to make amends before their Sunday\u2019s La Liga opener.<\/p>\n
