Valencia 2026/27 La Liga Preview
Four goals in seven games is the joint-lowest total in La Liga and Valencia are 19th because of it. Javier Aguirre’s side have lost five, including 5-0 at home to Barcelona, and their solitary win was a 1-0 at Deportivo Alavés. They have failed to score in five of the seven.
Nobody has more than one goal: Umar Sadiq, Luis Rioja and Aarón Ndive have one each. Filip Ugrinic and Arnaut Danjuma share the corners, and Stole Dimitrievski has 22 saves and two clean sheets – the defence is not the problem.
Ninth and 49 points last season was a respectable return, and this is a sharp fall from it. Aguirre has a back five that concedes at under two a game; until somebody starts scoring, Valencia will keep losing matches 1-0 and drifting towards trouble.

Valencia’s set-piece specialists
- Penalties: Umar Sadiq
- Free-Kicks: Javi Guerra, José Luis García
- Corners: Filip Ugrinic, Arnaut Danjuma
Filip Ugrinic has taken 12 of Valencia’s corners to Arnaut Danjuma’s 10. Javi Guerra has had one of the direct free-kicks. Valencia are yet to be awarded a penalty, so the taker is unproven – Umar Sadiq, their leading scorer, is the likeliest candidate.
