Valencia vs Espanyol Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

The previous clash between these two sides ended in a draw.

Valencia are all set to host Espanyol in the match week 33 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. Mestalla Stadium will be ready this time for the clash between the two Spanish league sides. It will be interesting to see which team will outplay the other.

Valencia are in 14th place on the LaLiga points table. Although they have recently secured some positive results, the rest of their season can be termed as a poor one because of their lacklustre performances. They have only been able to win nine games after playing 32.

Espanyol are just a spot above them in the Spanish league standings. They have won 10 games this season and have shown some below-average performances. Espanyol’s last clash against their upcoming opponents was at home, but this time it will be an away contest for them.

This might put some pressure on the visitors.
