Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
RCDE Stadium will host Sunday’s football game between Espanyol and Getafe, the two relegation-threatened teams. Los Periquitos failed to win the previous eight league matches and, as a result, their La Liga status is in great danger. The Catalans are desperate to win the relegation six-pointer, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. The good news for the home side is that Aleix Vidal is back from suspension, while both Cesar Montes and Eduardo Exposito are banned for the match.
Los Azulones, on the other hand, aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Mallorca and Almeria. Considering that the capital club have been struggling at the back of late, Espanyol will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. To make things even worse for the away team, important defender Djene is banned for the match as well Juan Iglesias.
