Valencia
All eyes will be on Estadio de la Ceramica when Villarreal and Valencia take on each other in the La Liga round 24. The Yellow Submarine aim to build on back-to-back wins over Real Valladolid and Las Palmas and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Both Dani Parejo and Pau Navarro are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while Kiko Femenia is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the last league match. Centre-back Willy Kambwala has overcome his minor problem.
Los Che, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Leganes and they managed to get one, with the team picking up vital three points in their battle for survival. Valencia, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of matching the in-form Yellow Submarine away from home. Sergio Gonzalez is back from suspension, while Enzo Barrenechea serves a one-game ban for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Nicolas Pépé):
Born in France to parents of Ivorian descent, Nicolas Pepe became a full Ivory Coast international in 2016. In a symbolic twist of events, Pepe was handed his Ivory Coast debut in a goalless draw against his birth nation France days after receiving his first-ever call-up.
Pepe began his career in the lower leagues in Poitiers in 2012, before moving to Angers a year later. Having proven his qualities in the second-string side, Pepe was instated in Angers’ first team in 2013. Four years later – which included a season-long loan spell at Orleans – Nicolas Pepe was transferred to Lille. Les Dogues beat several sides to the signature of this pacey winger who is no stranger to scoring goals. Quick with his feet, Pepe can be deployed on the right wing and as a centre-forward.
The Ivory Coast international is unpredictable in his movement and not easy to keep an eye on, especially because of his powerful left foot.
Highlighted Team (Valencia):
Founded on March 18, 1919, Valencia FC are a Spanish football club that compete in La Liga. Los Che play their home games at Estadio de Mestalla, the stadium which was opened back in May, 1923. 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.
Valencia made it to the Champions League final on two occasions (2000, 2001), but they were beaten in the title games by Real Madrid and Bayern Munchen respectively. The Spanish club, though, did well to win the UEFA Cup title in the 2003/2004 season, with the team beating Marseille in the final of the competition.
A number of top-class footballers were part of the club in the past, with the likes of Pablo Aimar, Ruben Baraja, David Albelda, Santiago Canizares, John Carew and Gaizka Mendieta all playing for the Estadio de Mestalla outfit. Valencia main colors are white and black, whilst they often where orange jerseys and shorts when playing on the travels.
