Espanyol-Valencia is a match from the seventh day of the Spanish La Liga: here’s where to watch it, the probable formations and the prediction
ESPANYOL – VALENCIA | Sunday 2pm
The hosts Espanyol have yet to win a single point at home this season. Vallecano, Real Madrid and Sevilla, in strict order, have all managed to score full points. Now comes Gattuso’s Valencia who, for their part, have always lost away. Well, someone will change that statistic, that much is clear. With the feeling that, right now, the Italian coach’s team is slightly favoured.
Yes, not only because of the league table, but also because of the squad that Valencia have at their disposal, which, it’s worth remembering, has also included that Cavani who should start again tomorrow as he did against Celta Vigo before the break. It is precisely the Matador who is the needle of the scales: if he turns, Valencia, these types of matches, can easily win them. And so it looks like it could also be the first game with goals from the former Napoli striker, among others.
The Prediction
Slightly favoured by Valencia, who are experiencing a good moment and come from an important and never in doubt victory against Celta Vigo. Gattuso, in short, could take the first away win of his season. Espanyol, on the other hand, will still be out of action at home.
