Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
RCDE Stadium will host Saturday’s football game between Espanyol and Valencia. Los Periquitos did not make a flying start to the season, and, as a result, they sit in the relegation zone in the La Liga standings ahead of Matchday 12. Since the Catalan outfit experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a midweek 3-0 loss to Athletic Club, we do not believe that they are capable of matching Valencia.
Los Che came from behind to share the spoils with Sevilla at their Estadio de Mestalla, with the team extending their winless run in the Spanish top flight to three games. Albert Celades’ men have been struggling to find their best form in the first half of the season, but the game against Espanyol should be the turning point for the club that represents Spain in the Champions League. A man to watch in the away team will be Rodrigo, who returns to the starting XI after missing the Sevilla clash through suspension.

Javi Lopez is Spanish footballer who plays for La Liga side Espanyol. Lopez plays for the Catalan outfit as a midfielder, but he is capable of playing at full back as well. After spending his youth career at Real Betis, he moved to Espanyol in 2007 and he was playing for the B squad between 2007 and 2010.
Under Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino he was promoted to the first team and he has been playing for Espanyol in La Liga ever since. He made his Espanyol debut on 4 October, 2009 in a goalless draw with Villarreal. Javi Lopez was born in Osuna, Andalusia, but he lives with his family in Barcelona. The Spanish player was born on 21 January.
His contract with Espanyol expires on 30 June, 2018 and it has to be noted that his market value in July, 2016 was €3 million. Following Sergio Garcia’s departure he was named Espanyol captain for the 2015/2016 La Liga campaign.
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.
