Team News

Valencia
Espanyol
  • Jose Gaya is still expected to miss out on a start for Valencia, despite recovering slightly from a hamstring injury.
  • Mouctar Diakhaby should feature at centre-back ahead of Eliaquim Mangala for the hosts.
  • Alessandro Florenzi is expected to be given the nod at right-back rather than Daniel Wass.
  • Victor Gomez is expected to get a start at right-back ahead of Javi Lopez for the away side.
  • Didac Vila and Adria Pedrosa will battle it out at left-back for the hosts once again.
  • Jonathan Calleri is expected to partner Raul de Tomas up front for the away side after a silly sending off recently.

Prediction

  • Valencia got back to winning ways at home at Mestalla recently against Real Valladolid, before losing narrowly to struggling Leganes last time out.
  • Voro is struggling to get consistency out of his newly-inherited side, who have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last six attempts.
  • Espanyol have lost their last seven LaLiga matches in a row, scoring just twice in that period.
