Valencia vs Espanyol Preview and Team News
Valencia Team News
Valencia are in a good run of form; they are unbeaten in their last five outings, winning three times and drawing twice. Last time out, they were held to a 1-1 draw away to Rayo Vallecano as their three-match winning run in La Liga came to an end.
The three wins against Mallorca (1-0), Real Madrid (1-2), and Sevilla (1-0) showcased Valencia’s newfound compactness and cutting edge in the final third.

Valencia sit 14th on the table with 38 points, seven points clear of the relegation zone. They will look to bolster their run of form when they host Espanyol on Tuesday.
Valencia’s bid for a win has been bolstered by the injury news showing that only right-back Thierry Correia (cruciate ligament tear) is sidelined.
Valencia will look to leverage their home advantage as they bid to return to winning ways after drawing in the last match.

Espanyol Team News
Espanyol beat ten-man Getafe 1-0 at home to extend their run in La Liga to three consecutive wins. This run of form has seen them steady their position at 13th on the table with 38 points, seven points off the bottom three.
With 7 matches remaining in the season, Espanyol will be aware that safety has not been secured yet, and they will look to extend their good form, starting with their Tuesday trip to the Mestalla to face Valencia.

With just central midfielder Jose Gragera (toe injury) sidelined, Espanyol will be in good shape to look to extend their good run of form in La Liga.

- Odds: 3.6 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Valencia 1-1 Espanyol
The two sides go into this match in a good run of form. They both have 38 points on the table, showing how closely matched they are. They have both won three times in their last five outings in La Liga.
Valencia have scored a total of 36 goals, while Espanyol have scored a comparable 34 goals in the season so far. However, Espanyol have shown a slightly better defensive record, conceding 40 goals to Valencia’s 48. This explains why Espanyol are above Valencia on goal difference.
My prediction in this match backs Valencia and Espanyol to be at the top of their games, increasing the chances of a draw as the safe football pick in this clash.
Valencia vs Espanyol Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Correct Score 1-1 (17Way)
- Odds: 6.5 (22Bet)
Given recent form, my analysis shows that Valencia and Espanyol have the firepower and dynamism to get on the scoresheet. However, these two sides have also shown tightening of their defensive solidity and compactness, which increases the chances of a low-scoring match.
My football pick here is a draw between these two in-form sides with a high probability of a 1-1 correct score call.
