Prediction: 1-2
Valencia
Sunday’s football game at RCDE Stadium pits together Espanyol and Valencia, the two teams who sit in the opposite halves of the table. Los Periquitos sit just above the relegation zone, with the team suffering their fourth defeat of the season before the international break. The Catalans are low on spirits following the 2-1 loss to Real Sociedad, and that is probably the main reason why home win should not be considered. All Ruben Sanchez, Jose Carlos Lazo, and Adria Pedrosa miss out with injuries for the home team.
Los Che, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, with the team beating Celta Vigo 3-0 in their last league fixture. Valencia have been in a much better form of late than Espanyol, and we predict that the time has come for Genaro Gattuso’s men to record their first away win of the season. Both Eray Comart and Jaume Domenech are injured for the away team.

The capacity of the venue is 50,000. Seeing that bats are quite common in Valencia, it is no surprise they are nicknamed the Bats.
