Espanyol vs Valladolid Predictions

• There have been three or more goals in Espanyol’s last four matches
• Real Valladolid’s last three away fixtures have contained in excess of two strikes
• Espanyol have only picked up two points on home soil this season

Can Espanyol get a rare win?

It’s been a desperately poor start to the season for Espanyol, particularly on home soil where they have suffered two defeats and picked up just two draws so far.

Diego Martínez’s side are simply conceding too many goals, with their defence already breached on 16 occasions in eight outings, including ten at the RCDE Stadium.

There have been three or more goals in three of those games, as well as four in a row at all venues, while their total of 11 strikes at the other end is the joint best in the bottom half of the table.

Valladolid searching for points

Real Valladolid will be reasonably pleased with how things are going on their return to La Liga, although they too have conceded a lot of goals – 13 of them in eight games.

There have been three or more strikes in three successive away fixtures, including their most recent outing, a 3-2 victory at Getafe.

Indeed, they have picked up four points on the road and they will fancy their chances against Espanyol, who they have lost to in just three of their last 12 meetings.

I predict that there will be three or more goals in this game, with a 2-2 draw my correct score prediction.
