Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 1-1
Valencia
RCDE Stadium will host Tuesday’s La Liga game between Espanyol and Valencia. Los Periquitos failed to spoil Real Madrid’s party at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu (0-2), but they are surely capable of matching los Che in front of home fans. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but experienced forward Pere Milla continues to miss out through suspension. Espanyol boss Manolo Gonzalez is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation.
Los Che, on the other hand, did well to beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at their Estadio de Mestalla on Saturday, but given their difficulties on the road, we do not believe that Carlos Corberan’s men are capable of grabbing more than one point from the midweek clash. Corberan has a luxury to field the best possible side against the Catalan outfit. In their last meeting in La Liga, the two sides played out a 1-1 draw and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
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.
