Espanyol vs Valencia

1/3- The last three weeks have been dreadful for Espanyol as they have been handed three consecutive defeats and are currently placed on the sixth position, they would be eager to get back to winning ways and in this attempt would be taking on 9^th placed Valencia in the match of the weekend in the Spanish Laliga. While Espanyol enter this after back to back defeats Valencia would be travelling for this match after back to back draws and would be hoping to make the most out of the slip in form of the home side. Earlier this season Espanyol had managed to defeat Valencia in an away tie with a 1-2 score line but the now the forms have reversed and Valencia would be keen on taking revenge. Looking at the overall record also Espanyol have been the dominant side but on current form Valencia look to be more threatening.

The home team would be under quite some pressure and would be hoping that the big players like Tamudo and Garcia can finally fire and bring in the three points or else the club might slip even further and their chances of making it to the European competition next season might as well diminish. Their last win was against Getafe in an away tie nearly a month ago and if the home team can get a similar result at home the crowd would be delighted.

Valencia on the other hand enter this match after a draw against Recreativo last week in a home tie, they are covering up for the terrible time they had in the middle of the season and a timely victory here could lift up them to a position of some respect. They would also  be satisfied with a point from this tie but definitely would not like to lose this one.

Prediction: 1-0, Espa nyol win
