Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Espanyol
Match Time & Date:

11:30 AM
Prediction: 1-1
Valencia
Espanyol will look to make amends for a 2-1 loss to Deportivo Alaves when they face Valencia on the penultimate day of the season. Los Periquitos are stuck in the middle of the table, with the team losing four of their last five league fixtures. The Catalans surely want to impress in their last home game of the process, but this will be anything but a walk in the park for Vicente Moreno’s troops. Midfielder Yangel Herrera is banned for the match, while Kedi Bare should recover in time to face los Che.
Valencia, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their seven-game winless run. Since the two teams seem to be evenly matched at the moment, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Both Jose Gaya and Hugo Guillamon are back from suspension, while Gabriel Paulista remains on the sidelines with injury for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Diego Lopez):
Diego Lopez is a Spanish goalkeeper who plays for Milan in the Serie A. Lopez was born in Paradela on 3 November, 1981 and he played for Lugo during his youth career. He made two appearances for Lugo at senior level as well, but in 2000 he joined Real Madrid.
The 196-cm-tall shoot-stopper played for both Real Madrid C and Real Madrid B and he made just two appearances for the first team during his first spell at Real Madrid. After spending five seasons at Villarreal (2007-2012) the Spanish goalkeeper played for Sevilla in the 2012/2013 La Liga campaign, but he made no more than eight league appearances for los Sevillanos.
He returned to Real Madrid on January, 2013 and he quickly established himself as a first-team regular, replacing Iker Casillas in the starting XI. However, Real Madrid fans wanted to see Iker between the posts and, as a result, Diego Lopez was forced to join Milan in 2014. Lopez has only one cap for Spain national team.
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.
