Espanyol vs Valencia
Competition – Spanish Primera
Stadium – RCDE Stadium
Date: 19th November 2017
Kick-off time – 15:15 GMT
Espanyol willbe looking to halt Valencia’s ascension up the league table.
They are defensively a good side even though their attacking play is not as commendable.
They currently average 0.82 goals per game which is the league’s worst for a team above the bottom four but they have collected ten points from their last four home games, albeit those were not against any of the top six teams.
With Pablo Piatti in their attack, their lack of goals is mainly due to their opponents not allowing them get as much space as they want.
Espanyol have lost 4 of their last 5 meetings with Valencia.
Valencia have started this season in such good form that it is difficult not to take notice of them.
After a miserable few years that saw them almost get relegated a couple of times, Marcelino has brought back life to the former European champions and this game could be another routine win for them.
They are currently on a run of 8 straight wins and are considered one of the favourites to win the title at this stage, with Real Madrid and Atletico struggling for form.
Valencia has scored 2.73 goals per game this season which is the same figure as Barcelona and shows how rampant they have been.
