Valladolid to Win

Reason for tip

Valladolid have won three of the last four top flight encounters between these two at home and their record at their own patch was key to their promotion. Valladolid won 14 of 21 home matches last season, while they host an Espanyol side that won just five of 21 second division trips.

Valladolid 1-0

Reason for tip

Valladolid built their promotion campaign on a solid defensive setup at home, conceding just 12 goals. The visitors averaged less than a goal per game on their travels, so take a 1-0 win for the hosts.

Hosts to edge promoted battle

These two sides have both returned to La Liga following promotion last season and they’re aiming to make a winning start back in the top flight. Espanyol came up through the playoffs last term, while Valladolid finished second.

Espanyol head into this game off the back of a friendly defeat to Heidenheim and their away record in the second tier last term is a concern. They won just five of 21 games on the road, which doesn’t suggest they’ll adapt well in their La Liga return.

Valladolid built their promotion campaign on home form and they won 14 of their 21 home matches last season. The hosts have also had the edge over Espanyol at this ground, winning three of their last four top-flight encounters. Take Valladolid to edge this key game at the bottom.
