Valencia desperately need points on Sunday, Dec 20 at 3:00 PM in the LaLiga. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Valencia come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 3L in last 5). Espanyol, meanwhile, arrive out of form (1W 2L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

In 10 previous meetings, Valencia lead 3–1 with 6 draws. Their last encounter ended in Valencia won 3–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.4 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Valencia a slight edge, but Espanyol are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
