Our prediction for this Primera Division match
RCDE Stadium will host a postponed La Liga game between Espnayol and Valencia. Los Periquitos have a chance to escape the relegation zone, but Wednesday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the Catalan outfit. Both Marash Kumbulla and Polo Lazano are banned for the match, while both Jofre and El Hilali are back from suspension. Forward Irvin Cardona is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a goalless draw with Osasuna at the weekend.
Los Che, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing each of their last three league matches. As Valencia have been struggling in front of goal of late, we believe that punters from all four corners of the world can find value in betting on under 2.5 goals. The likes of Correia, Diakhaby, Gaya, and goalkeeper Mamardashvili should miss out with injuries for the away team.
Espanyol vs Valencia Prediction
Espanyol is having an inconsistent form across all competitions of late. They were winless in five of the last six matches and has lost three of them. However, they have managed to lock Osasuna in a goalless draw in their latest match.
On the other hand, Valencia is on a three-match losing streak in the league.they will, enter their next league match on Wednesday following a 1-0 defeat against Valladolid. Also, their last two league defeats saw them conceding the 1-0 scoreline.
However, Espanyol can rely on the recent head-to-head tradition since they follows a four-match unbeaten streak against Valencia. Espanyol was unbeaten in three of their last four clashes against Valencia at home. By the looks of things, we expect an interesting clash at RCDE Stadium on Wednesday.
Espanyol was unbeaten in three of their last four home matches and has scored 5 goals in that period. They won two of them which is noteworthy. On the other side, Valencia is on an eight-match winless streak in the league games on the road and has lost the past two in a row. In fact, they are yet to seal a victory on the road this Laliga season.
Moving on, Valencia failed to score a goal in five of their last six league road trips. They have leaked 10 goals in that period. On top of that five of the last seven h2h meeting between these two at this venue saw the landing of the under 2.5 goals option.
Considering all these observations, we expect Espanyol to net one unanswered goal against Valencia on Wednesday. You can also pick the under 2.5 goals and both teams to score: no combined pick for this game.
