Espanyol is winless in their last three matches: two losses and one draw. Valencia has lost their last two matches and three of their previous four. The last three head-to-head meetings between Valencia and Espanyol ended in draws: twice 2-2 and once 1-1.

Espanyol

Both teams are currently at the bottom of the table. Espanyol and Valencia are both in the relegation zone. The Catalan side has earned 14 points after 16 rounds. In their last two La Liga matches, they suffered defeats, and if we consider the last five games, Espanyol has just one win, three losses, and one draw. The team has the second-worst defense in the Spanish league, having conceded 28 goals, with only Valladolid allowing more (34). They are two points behind 17th place, and importantly, Espanyol has a game in hand that could help close this gap.

Valencia

Valencia also has games in hand – in fact, two matches. The team currently sits last in the La Liga table with 10 points after 15 rounds. Although the Bats recently had a few matches where they picked up points, the situation has worsened again: three consecutive losses have returned Valencia to the bottom of the table. Valencia has the second-worst attack in the Spanish league, scoring just 13 goals. This is one of the key reasons for their low standing. To escape the relegation zone, they need to make up a six-point deficit, but even with two games in hand, this will be extremely difficult.

Prediction

This is a match between two struggling teams from the lower part of the table. Both Espanyol and Valencia have noticeable issues in attack, so I don’t expect a high-scoring game.

My bet: Total goals under 2.5 at odds of 1.5.
