Valencia-Espanyol is a match from the 37th day of La Liga and is played on Sunday at 19:00: likely formations, predictions, TV and streaming.
For Valencia, it is a chance to put an end to a troubled season that began badly, continued worse, but could end on a sweet note, with salvation achieved with one day to go.
Yes, that’s right: Gattuso’s men initially started out with a different intention, given also the summer buying campaign. Then things went downhill and they still have to struggle. The calendar, however, is benevolent, since the Mestalla hosts Espanyol, who can still hope for a salvation that would be sensational, but who certainly do not have the qualities needed to succeed in an away match against a technically and physically stronger team. And who at home put aside as many points as possible to reach the goal.
In the last five confrontations finally between these two teams, Valencia have won twice, drawn twice, and lost only once of course. In four out of five meetings both have found the way to the net. It could also happen this time. But the three points should be taken by the hosts.
