Team News

Espanyol
Valencia
  • Pablo Machin has a lengthy injury list heading into November.
  • Fernando Calero is still absent with an injury problem, which will see Naldo feature at centre-back.
  • Didac Vila could get the nod at left wing-back over Adria Pedrosa for the hosts.
  • Denis Cheryshev is available after a ban and should slot in on the left-hand side of the attack.
  • Rodrigo Moreno is also back after suspension and could feature on the right wing.
  • Francis Coquelin should shake off a minor hamstring complaint to continue in midfield.

Prediction

  • Espanyol suffered their first heavy defeat under Machin in midweek, falling to a 3-0 loss on the road to Athletic Club.
  • The hosts are yet to record a home victory under their new coach and will be looking to change that in Cornella.
  • Valencia have lost just one of their last five competitive games, but are winless on the road in three attempts.

  • The formations chosen for these teams look odd. Valencia has not played in a 433 and Espanyol has not played in a 3412 in the league this season according to their team pages on this site.

  • 1-0 Darder

  • @watfordAlbert How about Wulei?
