Prediction: 1-1
Valencia
RCDE Stadium will be the centre of attention when Espanyol and Valencia take on each other in the La Liga round 13. Los Periquitos aim to recover from a 3-1 loss in the Barcelona derby and they are surely capable of matching los Che in front of home fans. All Marash Kumbulla, Pol Lozano, Jose Gragera, Fernando Calero, and Eduardo Exposito are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
Ruben Baraja’s men, meanwhile, were not in action at the weekend as their clash with Real Madrid was postponed. As a result, tired legs should not prove to be a big problem for the visiting side. As Espanyol are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Pepelu is banned for the visiting side, while all Hugo Duro, Mouctar Diakhaby, and Rafa Mir should miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Espanyol):
Espanyol are a Catalan club that plays in Spanish La Liga. Espanyol were founded in 1900 and their original name was Sociedad Espanola de Football. In 1901 the Catalan club changed its name to Club Espanol de Futbol. Los Periquitos used to play in bright yellow shirts in the past, but current colour of the team’s home kit is blue and white.
Espanyol’s fiercest rivals are Barcelona and the two teams face each other in the Catalan derby (Derbi barceloni). Espanyol have always been in Barca’s shadow, but it has to be noted that los Periquitos have won four Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup trophies).
The likes of Raul Tamudo, Jose Maria, Antonio Argiles and Mauricio Pochettino are players with most appearances for the Catalan outfit. Espanyol play their home games at Estadio Cornella-El Prat and the capacity of the stadium is 40,500. Los Periquitos have never participated in the Champions League.
