Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Deportivo Alaves will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Levante when they welcome Espanyol at their Estadio de Mendizorroza on day 2 of the new La Liga campaign. The Basques made a fine start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to secure yet another La Liga survival.
Summer signing Joselu, who played for Newcastle United last season, will be the man to keep an eye on in the home team and we predict that the experienced attacker is going to prove a handful for the opposition defenders. Los Periquitos, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Sevilla, but beating Alaves in the Basque Country is easier said than done. Seeing that the Catalan outfit are eager to grab something from the game, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

Highlighted Player (Manu Garcia):

Manu Garcia is a product of Real Sociedad youth academy. The Spanish midfielder, who was born on 26 April, 1986, started playing for Real Sociedad B at the age of 19, making 101 appearances for the Basque outfit between 2005 and 2008. He scored 18 goals for Real Sociedad B and, as a result, Eibar chiefs decided to sign him in July, 2008. Manu Garcia spent the 2008/2009 season on loan at Real Union, scoring eight goals in 29 appearances for the club and in 2010 he joined Logrones.
Finally, in June 2012 he made probably the best decision of his career as he signed a contract with Segunda Division side Deportivo Alaves. Manu Garcia made 37 appearances for El Glorioso on his debut season and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular.
Garcia scored five goals for Alaves in the 2015/2016 Segunda Division campaign and, no doubt, he helped the team secure promotion to Primera Division. He has a contract with Alaves which expires on 30 June, 2018.
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.
