Espanyol vs Valencia tips and predictions

Valencia to get it done

Espanyol are currently in 13th place as they host tenth place Valencia. There's a lot riding on this clash with 4 points between them.

Valencia represent decent value in this clash.

There is not a huge amount of distance between these sides and the hosts will want to move on from some of their recent displays. Los Periquitos have been volatile. They've lost 4 of their last 5 matches. To add to their concerns, goals have been in short supply for them. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 9 games and regardless of the actual line-up they will be facing, that probably won't be enough for this test. They have conceded at least once in all of their last 5 games which is a stat that will encourage supporters of the visiting side.

Valencia have produced plenty of good numbers. They have been tight at the back when on the road. Conceding an average of just 0.6 goals across their latest 7 trips has given them decent foundations to work with. In a match that has various opinions, there is plenty of sense in supporting the visitors.

Away from the match winner market there's a low value separate bet in the BTTS No market.

The head-to-head shows that Los Che have won 10 of the last 15 matches between the two sides.
