Espanyol and Valencia face each other this Wednesday at 21:30 at the RCDE stadium, in one of the matches postponed by Dana, and the urgency of both teams has increased after a month and a half, although the locals have the advantage of playing at home, where they have reached their four to victories. Since April 15, the black and whites have not won at home.
The blue-white team hosts Valencia, mired in a difficult offensive line.In the last three games, “Espanyol” could not score a goal. Manolo Gonzalez’s men failed to score against Osasuna and neither did Getafe or Barbastro. Jofre Carreras and Omar El Hilali return to the team after missing the last league match due to suspension. On the other hand, they lose Paul Lozano, a significant loss in the center of the field.
Possible lineups for the Espanyol – Valencia match.
The bottom, after three successive defeats and with an internal crisis caused by the threat of sacking Ruben Baracha at the weekend, finally stopped Peter Lim to avoid the sack and the hiring of a new coach; Kike was the chosen one until a few years ago. This match is the last bright nail left for the black and white coach, which shows that the team can respond under his command. Apart from the famous losses of Mamardashvili and Gaya, Valencia is losing Rafa Mir due to a muscle injury.

Fernando Alvarez Prediction
Espanyol 1-1 Valencia
With both teams in a hurry, the prediction is skewed, but the precedents – three consecutive draws – invite us to think of a draw. Valencia has not scored in two games, the bad streak must end at some point.
