Prediction: 2-2
Valencia
RCDE Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Espanyol and Valencia. Los Periquitos did well to hold Celta Vigo at Estadio Balaidos to a 1-1 draw and they are now eyeing their first win of the season. The Catalan outfit were producing thrilling performances in pre-season and they are definitely capable of grabbing something from the clash against Valencia. Los Che are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but seeing that they often struggle on the travels, we predict the two teams are going to share the spoils at RCDE Stadium. A man to watch in the home team will be Leo Baptistao, whilst Espanyol defenders should have Rodrigo, who scored 16 goals last term, at bay. Taking everything into account, a close encounter is on the cards and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

In the 2012 winter transfer window Sanchez returns to Spain, but this time out he joined Barca’s local rivals Espanyol.
The midfielder, who is capable of playing as a defender as well, signed a three-and-a-half year deal with los Periquitos and he has been playing for the club ever since.

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.
