Prediction: 3-1
Espanyol
After dropping two points in a goalless draw with Real Sociedad at the weekend, Valencia will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they host Espanyol at their Estadio de Mestalla. Valencia have been in a fine form in 2019 and, as a result, they rejoined the race for a place in the Champions League. Los Che are eyeing their third consecutive clean sheet at home in the Spanish top flight and seeing that los Periquitos are not regarded as good travelers, we are tempted to put our money on Rodrigo and Co. Espanyol did well to beat Rayo Vallecano in front of home fans to move away from the danger zone, but we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Valencia’s party at Estadio de Mestalla as Marcelino’s men are eager to represent Spain in the elite competition next term.

After playing for Sevilla and AS Monaco Kondogbia made a transfer to Inter Milan, which paid around 35 million euro.
Knodogbia is, despite his age, a very mature football player, which plays as a defensive midfielder. Being left-footed gives Kondogbia more abilities than other players in order to open up and create space in the pitch. Kondogbia made his debut for the French national team in August 2013.
Kondogbia is a very talentful player, which will be one of the best defensive midfielders In a couple of years. The competition for a spot in the starting eleven of France is very hard, which gives Kondogbia the opportunity to focus on Inter Milan.
