Valencia have been one of the surprise packages of La Liga this season. Los Ches will be looking to continue their good start to the campaign when they head to Espanyol on Sunday afternoon.
Espanyol have endured a mixed start to their La Liga campaign this season. The Catalans are currently 13th in the Spanish top-flight table after picking up just 13 points from their 11 league games so far this season.
The home side’s recent form has not been great in La Liga, as they have won just one of their last six games in the Spanish top-flight. Last time out Quique Flores’ team suffered a 1-0 defeat at Alaves.
Espanyol’s home recent home record in La Liga is strong though, as they are now unbeaten in their last four league games on home soil, recording three wins in the process. Flores’ team have also kept clean sheets in their last two home games.
Valencia head to Catalonia in fine form. Los Ches are currently second in La Liga and just four points behind league leaders Barcelona.
The visitors are unbeaten in La Liga this season under Marcelino, having recorded eight wins and three draws. In fact, the visitors have won their last seven league games.
A key to the visitor’s good form this season has been their attacking prowess, as they have scored at least two goals in their last seven La Liga games.
Valencia’s recent record on their travels in La Liga is good, as they are now unbeaten in six away games, having recorded three consecutive wins on the road in the Spanish top-flight. The visitors have also scored two or more goals in four of their last five games on their travels in La Liga.
Forebet predicts that Valencia will record a victory in this one to continue their stellar campaign in La Liga.
